The Status Group

Scotsmen are a different breed of animal, stubbornly independent, unfailingly intolerant of disloyalty; they will back a true friend until their spine caves in. Hard-drinking, hard-fighting, a Scotsman will tear up at a Disney movie and then go out and lead a full-throated highland charge into the face of overwhelming odds…and win.

My great grandfather on my mother’s side was a McDonald from the highlands around Glencoe Scotland. Delving into the family background gave me the unique opportunity to become friends with a fellow Scot by the name of Robert Freeman. Robert is the general council of The Status Group, a gathering of strategic business advisors with over 300 years of collective experience. Robert introduced me to the board of directors. Impressed would be a vast understatement. Check out their website, www.statusgroupllc.com

The Las Vegas area is replete with businesses and corporations eager to grab a slice of the big business pie, but The Status Group is focused on helping small business maneuver through the maze of laws, regulations and financing that cause so many people with good ideas to fail where they should have succeeded.

Big businesses come with an established executive team, high salaried professionals who are constantly available to the CEO whenever needed. Many of these teams come with a seven figure price tag. Small business simply cannot afford that luxury. Typically they are left with the choice of either attempting to do it themselves or seek out professional help at an expensive hourly rate.

Not any longer. What I have learned about The Status Group is that the incredibly extensive experience contained within their offices is available to address the specific needs of the small business entrepreneur, owner or manager. The Status Group provides these individuals with their own executive team, a Status Council made up of entrepreneurs who had already been there. It’s much easier to explore the wilderness is you have a guide.

One of the most important features of The Status Group’s expertise is their ability to produce top quality business plans. Small business, in order to begin on a proper footing, requires capital. Banks will not consider a request that is not thorough and well thought out. The Status group is able to create a business plan that is, quite frankly, impressive. One plan I saw was for a man working on building a car wash. The business plan created for him has already generated interest from three financial institutions.

I am pleased and honored to be considered for partnership with these men and women. As my fellow Scot, Robert would say, “It’s a pleasure to watch a master at work.”
