Somerset Shareholder Alignment Index - diagnostic exercise to identify issues amongst multiple shareholders
Do you have clear ownership objectives? Are your ownership objectives aligned with your business strategy? Would you like to draft a shareholder agreement but are unclear about the terms? Somerset can assist you. We have developed a proprietary diagnostic tool to assess shareholder alignment - Somerset Shareholder Alignment Index © 2010. The initial assessment takes ~15 minutes for shareholders to complete and the results are analysed and compiled into a Report prepared for you. If needed, Somerset, can facilitate discussions with key stakeholders to resolve any area of misalignment.

Somerset Business Assessment - diagnostic exercise to identify business alignment issues and value enhancement opportunities
We like to view a business from several perspectives, most importantly from the position of owners/investors and the executive team to identify any alignment and business health issues. By completing a Somerset Business Assessment we are able to pinpoint the constraints to your business growth. From there we map out a plan within the Four Decisions framework to mitigate business risk and enhance value for shareholders.
