LOI (Letter of Intent)

WHO IS HDI CONSULTING?
Our team was born from folks that know about the circumstances that bring you to the critical juncture many entreprenuers reach at some point in the life of their business. Whether their business has been providing for their families and employees for decades, or simply represents a hard-earned but short-lived venture into their industry-of-choice, at some point it becomes apparent that something needs to change. Perhaps the stress of running the company has simply become too much of a burden. Maybe the circumstances of their life necessitates a move or at least the freedom to be away from their business more than they can be currently. Or it could be that the business has become unwieldy and not all that profitable; either downsizing or growing would make life easier and help the bank account out.
Whatever the case may be, at HDI we've assembled a team of experts in marketing, consulting, and acquisitions. More importantly, we're all business owners ourselves, and through the years we've learned how to handle the most difficult of decisions.
With that in mind, I'll be using this blog to comment on everything from the stock market, deal making, and corporate finance all the way down to the day to day life of both the average small business owner as well as the men and women of our firm. I'll also be sharing the resources of business advisors the world over, as well as my own anecdotes from my years of consulting in the mergers and acquisitions industry. At best this will be a resource for all of us to improve our knowledge of profitable business practices in this uncertain climate. At worst it'll be a glimpse into my slightly disturbed psyche and the rest of us at HDI who are working hard to improve the economic landscape here in America and beyond.
ABOUT ME
I've been interested in the business world since my father paid our bills in daring fashion by starting a company overnight that's taken care of many friends and family for almost 15 years. I've also ventured out into the intimidating landscape of mergers and acquisitions as well as management consulting for the past several years. It's been an intriguing (and profitable) journey to say the least but I feel the ball's just starting to roll. We've assembled a team of entrepreneurs and folks with thorough knowledge of many different aspects of business practices and productivity. HDI is now up on its feet and ready to stretch its legs. While the hotshots on Wall Street are staring down the barrel of a shotgun wielded by an angry bear, I feel like the coming years can be exceptional for Main Street business owners and we all stand to make more money than our résumés deserve. I believe that keeping a finger on the pulse of the world of Wall Street and Washington can be of great benefit to us down here in the junior sphere where we aren't nearly as hurt by the credit crunch and Private Equity backlash.
COMMENTS AND GOSSIP
Feel free to send me your rants, raves, and scurrilous slander to j@bizbuy123.com. I'll always be on the lookout for amusing anecdotes, juicy gossip, and weighty theoretical tomes to use as material. Just let me know whether you want to be quoted for attribution. (Might be a bad idea, by the way.)
In addition, feel free to comment on the posts with the best critiques and snide remarks you've got. I'm a glutton for punishment; why else would I work in consulting?
