I want to ask about whether we should hire a consultant.

I have experience with this, I have to say: hiring a consultant depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with hiring a consultant is something else entirely. Think about it...

But what's the real risk? Will the business close if this choice is wrong? I'm saying this so you're very careful.

Technically speaking: there are two main factors in the decision to hire a consultant. Cost-benefit and risk management. Make decisions based on data.

Don't miss this: People defend habits, not processes. I mean resistance comes from there.

Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later. Good luck with that.

This thread is archived. If decision-making authority isn't defined, it causes daily issues, not just during exits.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

I'll try it. Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

Hope this helps.

I'd say don't rush. If decision-making authority isn't defined, it causes daily issues, not just during exits.

Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way. Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

There's a trap here let me mention it. The only thing separating friendship from partnership is a written contract.

Proven by experience.
