About KAB Associates

   Located in Owings Mills, MD, we are a results focused management team , specializing in turnaround management, new business developmentand interim management during periods of transition.

  From marketing to management to public relations, KAB analyzes each element of the operation. In an effort to maximaize efficiency, we first strive to make your company effective and successful, then concentrate on eliminating the inefficencies. If the company is not effective, then efficiency has no meaning.


Leadership. Innovation. Results.

KAB Associates is a dynamic management team whose challenge is to develop new ideas and business concepts and to apply our management skills in taking over failing business and transforming marginal profits into profit margins. KAB and our unique blend of strategists and problem solvers are able to adapt to advanced and shifting business needs.  Our clients benefit from our hands-on management and our expertise in the areas of accounting, computer systems, sales and marketing. 

Hands-on management means that we will run your day-to-day operations, not just make recommendations from the sidelines.  This approach provides assurance of timely implementation of policy, practices and procedures while simultaneously providing an environment where business insights and new concepts and strategies are seamlessly integrated.  KAB Associates is not a consulting company with predefined “enterprise solutions” or quick-fix recommendations; we will never offer you a cookie cutter business plan. We tailor the programs to your individual needs.

As experienced and successful turnaround management specialists, we craft business designs that allow you to maximize your resources and pare away unnecessary expenses. We will deploy our assets to find ways to outmaneuver your competition and generate the best return with the least capital and lowest risk.

For new businesses we will help to provide a firm foundation with stout core business processes that will take full advantage of your unique position and enhance your ability to respond to customer demands in key markets.  Our competitive analysis team will research your competitors and determine the over-arching practices that will boost the performance of your new business.

Methodology

Total immersion in your business is the cornerstone of our process.  Our highly adaptive teams of experts lend their insight to an overall strategy that will evolve organically as we research and analyze your market space.

Our methodology relies heavily on creative solutions and communication between our team and the principles of your business as we have successfully used for other clients.  The plan that is developed for you by our team will focus on bottom line improvements:  generating new business and finding ways to make your operation function more efficiently.  

Our typical clients are small to medium size businesses with unique products, lacking the marketing, technical and accounting ability and the capital to grow.   Many of our most successful partners recognize their own limitations as successful small enterprises hoping to emerge in larger markets.

An element of our hands on approach often involves investment of our own capital to help overcome growth barriers and upgrade communications and marketing infrastructure. 

Our client offerings generally fall into the following categories:

Turnaround & Recovery– A systematic approach to helping troubled businesses.  Defining challenges, generating creative solutions and focusing on the bottom line are the pillars of our turnaround team’s plan. 

Smart Growth Assistance– For entrepreneurs looking to expand and build their business beyond their current market.

Creating and Building Franchise Systems – To build existing franchise systems or help create new ones.
