The mission of Arne & Co. is to help business owners achieve two objectives:
#1 Grow their businesses through strategic acquisitions
#2 Sell their businesses for maximum value
Our Approach
Purchasing or selling a business is most often a “once in a lifetime event”. The business owner is the “Owner” of the team; we act as his or her “Coach”, by offering advice that will help them make wise decisions surrounding these lifetime events.
We follow the “Four P’s” – Planning, Process, Passion, Partnership – surrounding the Coaching we offer Owners.
Planning. Whatever goal the Owner is trying to achieve, it should arise out of a plan of some kind. As it relates to any business, we believe there are three overlapping plans: Business Plan, Exit Plan and Estate Plan; and, the overall Life Plan of the Owner.
Process. We believe in educating our clients regarding the Processes we will be following in helping them achieve their goals. That way, no one is “in the dark” about where we stand in achieving the desired result. We employ three processes: Business Valuation Process, Business Acquisitions Process, and Business Sales Process.
Passion. We have a passion for learning. We continually strive to increase our knowledge and skills in areas that will help Owners achieve their goals. This includes developing both our technical skills and people skills. The saying is “knowledge is power”. We believe real power is a combination of knowledge (mind) and passion (heart).
Partnership. We want to work with clients who like us, and we like them. Our first objective is to come to understand our client’s underlying values, to ensure they are in sync with ours. Building trust and respect becomes the cornerstone of the Owner/Coach relationship needed in helping Owners make these lifetime decisions.
