What does it mean to be FieldReady™?

At Doescher Group, our purpose is leveling the playing field for self-made business owners.

You’d never send your 9-year-old out to play baseball for the first time with a bunch of 16-year-olds who’ve been playing for years. 

You’d never send your kid out on the ice without a hockey stick, a helmet, and the proper gear. 

You’d never hop on a stallion to ride the Kentucky Derby if you’d never sat on a horse before. 

Because that would be foolish, even dangerous. 

But this is what business owners do all of the time.

If you’ve got the entrepreneurial spirit, you are probably fine with taking risks that scare most people. You’re probably used to improvising and making it up as you go. In your mind you might be thinking, “What's new? I’ve always been an underdog, figuring things out as I go.”

This scrappy mentality is a huge factor in why you’ve made it this far.

The very scrappiness that got you this far can be the exact reason that you’re not concerned enough about how to play the next game. 
Our job is to never let you step onto that field unprepared.

Because what you’ll encounter is not a mystery. After years of guiding self-made business owners through the biggest transition of their careers, we can predict with reasonable certainty exactly what you are likely to face when you step onto the playing field.

And let me tell you one thing very clearly:

Taking your business to the next level is a different game than the one you’ve played so well to get here. 

For many years now, we have worked with business owners specifically seeking to evolve or exit their businesses. They are looking for trusted guidance with navigating unfamiliar financial terrain. We provide expert consultation to help them make the deal of a lifetime. Most owners will only do this once; it’s what we do every single day.  

The first step is to assess your business and look at it the way an investor will see it. 

(Believe me, it’s very different from the way another business owner would see it.

You speak the language of risk taker, which is antithetical to that of the bankers or investors you might need to achieve your vision.

We bridge that gap. We have studied the game and understand exactly what you need to help you achieve your goals.

We will help you get FieldReady™.

So what does it mean to be FieldReady™?

In short, it means that you’ve addressed two major categories: business attractiveness and exit readiness (links FieldReady™ Assessment blogs).

The Doescher Group FieldReady™ Assessment is an in-depth process that creates a baseline understanding of your business’s value and shows you exactly what you can do about it to make your business achieve its peak value in the eyes of potential investors.
