   Jun 2010 — Present · Chico, CA, US

   Morrison & Company was founded in 2002 and provides specialized consulting services including business valuation, business planning and feasibility studies, interim executive assistance, special business-related projects, and competitive grant writing for agricultural grants and energy grants. Business Valuation:Business valuation services are necessary in a number of situations. When buying a business or selling a business, a valuation can serve as a starting point or counter offer in negotiations. Other reasons for a professional business valuation include settlements between business partners, division of property in death or divorce situations, consideration of a merger or acquisition (from either side), taxable events like estate and gift planning, and attracting financing or investors.Planning & Feasibility:Business planning and feasibility study services address a variety of challenges, from budgeting, financial models, and business plans to comprehensive feasibility studies that assess the financial, marketing, and engineering prospects of a major proposed project. Interim Financial Management:We help when companies need financial outsourcing, interim management, a part-time executive, an experienced fill-in or a knowledgeable executive to assist with projects such as establishing new operations, divisions, or functions. Sometimes companies need ongoing high-level advice and assistance but not enough to justify a full-time position. We can fill a temporary vacancy, provide ongoing executive-level advice, CFO services, interim management or help recruit a permanent replacement. Grant Writing:Morrison & Company has a success record of over 80% on full grant proposals since its founding in 2002. We concentrate on highly competitive grant programs for private sector companies, universities, and other organizations, with a special focus on farm grants, agribusiness and agriculture grants and alternative energy grants.
