Are you considering Buying a Business?

Buying a business is fraught with difficulties and variables with the inherent risk of making costly errors, not just with the outcome but with the time drain during the process; even in the best case scenario, it will take a long time.
This is why it is essential to have clear goals, thoroughly research a market prior to engaging with targets and understand how you will assess options swiftly. Ideally you will have a skilled and motivated advisor like Ortus Group working alongside you to do much of the leg work, research, first level due diligence and negotiations. We deal with much of the stress so you can continue to run and look after your business effectively, rather than losing a huge amount of time in the early detail stages in particular.

Finding a new Lateral Hire

When you think about the best people in your business, how many of them do you think are looking for a new job?
We all know that the very best people rarely actively seek new job opportunities, so if you are seeking a key hire to improve your business, it makes little sense to target people actively seeking a new role. While there are always exceptions to this rule, there are significant risks to hiring active movers such as underperformance, career dissonance and short-termism. If the role you are seeking to fill is too important to take those risks, executive search is the way forward.
Ortus Group has written a guide describing how we employ an effective search strategy which is essential to ensure you hire the very best. Under the guidance of our Managing Director who has been working on senior executive search projects since 1997, our team is well placed to help you make sure of hiring the best people, and scrutinising the business case of each hire effectively.

Are you considering Making a Move?

Without the jolt of a specific negative event, busy and successful professionals rarely invest the time in themselves to assess their current circumstances and consequently, risk losing sight of both professional and personal goals.
The most successful people in virtually any industry you can think of regularly and critically self-evaluate, but for one reason or another, this is not as common a practice in professional services. Aside from stymieing personal and career growth opportunities, this increases the risk of only ever making a change when circumstances push you into it, which in turn, increases the risk of making a bad decision motivated by a move away from pain rather than toward something positive. Why is this?
People within the professional services, lawyers in particular, often tend to be more risk-averse than most which means recognising opportunity can be infrequent at best, even when it may be obvious. It is also generally true that the most successful people are very busy, so the time and effort required to make a reliable and honest assessment of your current position can feel a little daunting too. This is why it is essential to have a professional work closely with you in assessing your business case and accessing off-market options. Ortus Group have originated and facilitated countless lateral moves over the years and are well placed to guide you in confidence.

Subscribe below to read the whole article on what to consider when Making a Move People within the professional services industry, with lawyers in particular, often tend to be more risk-averse than most which means recognising opportunity can be infrequent at best, even when it may be obvious.

On top of this, it is known that many people are a little nervous of what they find if they honestly appraise their career trajectory and can subconsciously take steps to avoid this.
Given that this sounds like hard work and potentially revealing about ourselves, why should we make the effort in our busy schedules? Whoever you are, there is one overarching benefit to conducting a deep-dive on your current position, career trajectory and business case which will serve you very well even if you never move.
