ALASKA BUSINESS ADVISORS

Today's competitive business world demands vision, planning and action. It demands an edge to succeed, the edge that Alaska Business Advisors provides.

Owner Norman Bailey, who established the original company, Norman Bailey and Associates, in 1976, is committed to his corporate philosophy: contribution, influence, profit and growth.

"Through sound business analysis and well-planned strategy, we can boost a firm's competitiveness, profitability and growth potential," Bailey says. "Not only can we save clients money, we can help penetrate new markets, enlarge their share of current markets and increase their income."

Alaska Business Advisors specializes in financial and business advising and development. The firm assesses opportunities, operations and challenges for clients. Through Bailey's firm, businesses gain tools, direction and assistance in developing that needed competitive advantage. "In fact," Bailey says, "our clients actually gain a top executive at only a fraction of the cost of adding one to the payroll."

ABA also offers management consulting, financial analysis and planning, and public and governmental affairs analysis and representation. Under Bailey's direction, professionals in the fields of accounting, finance, law, education, business and governmental affairs are available to assist businesses in boosting their profit margins.

"Each team will depend entirely on the needs of the business we're advising," says Bailey. "A team is highly individual and highly specialized."

Bailey is excited about business potential for Alaska and Alaskan businesses. "We're just beginning to tap the world market," he says. "Alaska is ideally situated--equidistant to Europe, Asia and the continental United States. Alaskans have great opportunities now to reach all these markets, and to build international businesses.

"In fact, Alaskan businesses should be even more successful than businesses elsewhere in the world. It just takes a global perspective."

Alaska Business Advisors has the know-how and the contacts to help these businesses execute a sound start. Bailey has developed enviable international contacts, working with financial groups all over the world to put projects and capital together. "Being able to deal with people at the top level, where decisions are made, isn't easy," Bailey says. "It's something we've worked years to develop. Now we have their confidence, their respect . . . and their attention."
