Advisory

3a’s advisory unit is composed of a resourceful and well-coordinated mixture of partner professionals and our own creative in-house advisors. Together we will explore the different possibilities for your business on matters of tax planning as well as in the design and implementation of growth strategies.

We also carry out project appraisals, assist you in raising finance, and foster objectivity in board room performance assessment of your business. 3a will provide advice on how to lighten administrative and back office workloads, while providing you with unlimited phone and email assistance. We will act as your support structure, knowledge centre and business mentor in all aspects that fall within our areas of specialisation.

We assist our clients to build value & maximise returns on their investment decisions. Investment decisions should always be made on the basis of their being able to provide added value to the shareholders. Maximising financial gains, reputation and brand value are key strategies to ensuring that all stakeholders benefit from their involvement with your company: these include employees, customers, suppliers and government.

Moreover, the decision to invest in yourself also requires you to further your experience and expertise through knowledge sharing, as well as to ensure sustainable financial returns that compensate for opportunity costs.

As part of its customised service the 3a Malta firm considers the requirements of individual clients and their enterprises when assisting in the drafting of business plans, feasibility studies and financial projections, all of which can be subsequently prepared for presentation to lenders and investors. Existing businesses will also benefit from financial and cash flow projections which allow clients better monitoring and cash flow management.

3a is also experienced in addressing the sensitive issue of business succession. Together we will help you construct a successful exit plan in advance of your retirement. Succession planning aims to create an effective strategy while anticipating familial issues and other problems that may arise, in order to maximise your return on investment, reduce business losses and interruptions, and grant peace-of-mind.

3a provides personalised assistance and support to government entities, private organisations and NGOs in the practical aspects related to EU and local funding and beneficial schemes and programmes available at that point in time and as applicable to your business. This is implemented through:

• One-to-one meetings with potential beneficiaries to discuss project proposals and identify EU funding and other schemes possibilities
• Practical advice related to project planning and design whilst ensuring eligibility of projects in relation to the EU Funding and Malta Enterprise Programmes being considered for financing
• Provision of specific technical assistance to help beneficiaries in drawing up funding/ scheme applications
