Call on us to Fine Tune your Business Plan


For businesses facing difficult transitions, reviewing strategy and market potential are paramount to success.

During tough economic times, we believe that it is critical to manage risk closely and to revisit your highest impact assumptions.

Outside-In Thinking Reduces Risk
Our approach is more than a 3rd party assessment of opportunity. We specialize in the wine industry and have a proven track record of generating results for over 50 wine businesses.

Our team of business advisors can shed new light on your idea, problem or plan, and provide an objective outside and informed perspective.

Our Business Strategy Vetting approach provides you with:

Better decisions: We ask tough questions and challenge your assumptions, empowering you to develop better solutions.

Less risk: We help you uncover relevant facts, separate opinion from reality and develop options for executing your plan.

Concise final presentation: We prepare our findings in a format ideally suited for communications with your Board, leadership team and business or banking partners.

For a custom proposal, please call Deborah Steinthal: (707) 258-9130.

Scion's approach addresses essential questions:

1. Will your vision and strategy support your family business goals?

2. Are your forecasts achievable (data-driven & reality-based)?

3. Can your organization support your plan?

4. Have you realistically characterized your market opportunity?

5. Is your Go-To-Market strategy feasible?

6. Can you achieve a reasonable return on shareholder equity?

7. Can you sustain long term profitability?

"Scion gave us the courage and the reason to believe that we can do it."
