Long-Term Focus: Building a sustainable long-term business
Strong Cash Flow: We look for companies with over $1 million in cash flow and greater than 10% margins.
Darby Creek has been consulting for small businesses and investment firms for over 10 years. Their experience includes:
· Managed private equity transactions, working with sellers to deeply understand the business. This process allowed investors to address company risks and operational issues in the transaction, including HR processes and buy-in from employees.
· Assessed investments for a CPG venture capital firm and formalized their investment process. Improving their target valuations and investment decisions.
· Directed a manufacturing firm out of a period of low cash flow. Applied a cash flow forecast and identified the causes. Executed a pricing strategy to grow profit per item and a new production process to increase utilization, increasing cash flow 2x.
· Increased revenue by 33%, earnings by 50%, and reduced employee turnover by 33% for an industrial cleaning firm by improving slow season revenue and identifying new industries to use their services.
· Strengthened the workflow efficiency of a manufacturing business across two business segments through waste reduction. Identifying duplicative functions and streamlining material flow. Growing output by 33% with the same headcount.
· Led the transition of a 40-year-old manufacturing company to a private equity fund. Installed and coached a new president and ensured a significant transfer of knowledge across the organization to minimize the owner's retirement effects.
· CFO of a distressed manufacturing company. Systematizing financing reporting to meet investor requirements and implementing a budget process. Worked with the staff to remove waste from the company's procedures, reducing order entry by 75%.
· Executed a 5x production expansion for a brewery. Providing financial analysis and projections to raise capital and advising leadership through the process. Resulting in a capital injection to open a new production and taproom facility.
· Consulted a brewery through a change in focus from taprooms to wholesale accounts. As a result of production expansion, wholesale revenue could grow by 10x. Worked to ensure the taprooms bought-in and that wholesale could service the new volume.
Created a Tableau database and dashboard for a manufacturing company that analyzed sales profitability and monitored utilization rates. Reducing material costs by 40%.
