Business and Start-Up Services

Every business needs a business model and a business plan. The model is how your company is going to operate – how you provide your goods/services to your customers and how they pay you, along with how you staff your business with W2 employees or 1099 contractors. 

Many business owners are spending all of their time working in the business instead of saving some of that time to work on the business. We understand the pressure that falls on the shoulders of entrepreneurs and can help take some of the burden of working on the business until you are at a place where you can take over.

No Coast Consulting can help with developing the right business model for your company, developing a business plan and then helping you secure funds to further your business. We also help solopreneurs create a team of people that they can outsource tasks they don’t have time for, don’t know how to do, or don’t want to do like bookkeeping, payroll, marketing, etc. 

Let us help you get positioned to create a successful business that will not only meet your income needs but help you accomplish your mission and vision for your business. If you aren’t sure what that is yet, we got you covered.

The mission statement and vision statement for your business is essential to defining who you are as a company, what type of work you do, and for what purpose. Finding the driving mission and vision of your business is key to determining the direction for your business, and it keeps you grounded as opportunities come your way. Your mission and vision also help you determine when the time is right to move on from your business and who to pass the reins to. 

Has your mission and or vision changed since the inception of your company? Maybe you had your statements figured out but your business has grown beyond the original mission or vision for the company and it’s time to revisit it and create new statements that pay tribute to the original while looking towards the future to create a new statement that will last through generations. Dr. Anderson’s unique process will not only leave you feeling empowered to take the mission and vision back to your team and customers but will also reinvigorate your drive and passion for your business. 

When your business model, business plan, and mission and vision statements are sound, it’s time to move on to strategic planning and goal setting. These two services go hand-in-hand and because we develop your goals and then create a strategic plan to get there which then turns into smaller goals to be met along the way to keep you on track. Your strategic plan and goals must be in line with your business model, plan, mission and vision.

Dr. Ryan helps you define realistic goals with strategic plans that are crafted specifically for your industry, the market, and your business. No two plans are the same even if the goal is. Every company has a unique journey to reaching the goal based on who they are and what they stand for.

Are you sitting in a place where you wonder what more you could be doing? Wondering how to climb to the top of the mountain? Do you need help transitioning a team member into a new role? Wondering how to get the most out of your leadership team? Business Coaching is the place to start! Dr. Anderson has been a long time tenured Business Professor at Grand View University but is actively involved in the business community as a business owner, trainer, and coach.

Drawing from extensive leadership development experience, he partners with business owners to cultivate high-performing teams where individual success drives collective achievement. After all, your company is made up of people, let’s coach them and get each one to operate at their fullest potential. We can turn your leadership into coaches for their teams and create or continue a culture of support, confidence, and respect.

Policy writing isn’t typically top of mind for entrepreneurs, and typically, there are even a few employees on board before the need for policies becomes apparent, often not for the right reasons. Many business owners get burned by clients/customers or employees and realize that they need policies in place to protect them on all fronts.

Dr. Anderson is a policy pro. He can create your company policies from HR to onboarding and when to take a client or service provider on vs pass on them. If you are just starting out, get your policies in place before you hire your first employee (W2 or 1099) and take on your first client. Know what the process will be for screening employees, clients, and vendors before you even have to do it. You don’t have to do it alone either! Dr. Ryan knows the pitfalls to watch out for, the standard policies every company needs, and then the custom ones that might apply to your field.
