NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 29, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- There's good news for small- to medium-sized businesses in Southern California that are intrigued with the "incubator concept" for growing their companies. Now businesses get more than just physical space to align themselves with an accelerator offering strategic professional services. The CMM Advisory Group, Inc., headquartered in Newport Beach, offers, as part of their menu of professional services, either "virtual" or "physical" incubation which duplicates those of a large corporation on an "a la carte" basis from any location.
"A current issue facing small- and medium-sized businesses is that they need to build and grow to keep up in today's demanding and sophisticated marketplace, but frequently, don't have the necessary resources readily available to add the staff and attain that cutting edge," said Bethany LaFlam, one of the executive advisors and founders of CMM. "What we offer with The CMM Advisory Group is the incubator approach where we cultivate the atmosphere for the business to grow in a protected environment, offering a whole range of services from trusted advisors on an 'as-needed' basis."
LaFlam, and co-founder Susan Hansted-Kuntz, have assembled a "brain trust" of specialists that includes CPAs, business attorneys, sales and marketing specialists, business coaches, financial planners, Information Technology specialists, human resource specialists, business brokers and others who consult with the client on an ad-hoc basis.
Hansted-Kuntz explains that at The CMM Advisory Group "we work with a business as part of the integrated, interconnected whole, bringing a strategic mindset to everything we do. We assemble the ideal group of trusted advisors as the basis for creating solutions. Above all, we aim to be creative, resourceful, effective and cost-conscious. Our mission is to protect our client's business while maximizing growth with sustainable profitability."
One of The CMM Advisory Group's clients is HR NETwork, Inc., a human resource services firm in Garden Grove, whose president, Audrianne Lee, remarks that teaming up with CMM "has been enormously beneficial. Their insight and direction have been a guiding light as we aim for that next level of success. We consider The CMM Advisory Group to be HR NETwork's 'supporting cast,' working side-by-side with us as we grow and prosper."
Prior to organizing The CMM Advisory Group, LaFlam founded LaFlam Law, LLP, a business law firm in Newport Beach.
Hansted-Kuntz, M.A., is a business growth strategist specializing in growing revenue and sustaining profit. Prior to founding The CMM Advisory Group, she had more than 15 years of corporate experience in management consulting, sales and marketing.
