Company check

The holistic view of your company's future viability.
We are DeFORIS Unternehmensberatung
We analyse your company as an overall system – from strategy and market positioning to organisation and processes, right through to key figures and digitalisation. In doing so, we take an independent, external view of your company without operational blindness, use structured templates and tools, and uncover potentials that otherwise remain invisible in day-to-day business.
Practical concepts with prioritised recommendations for action.

Our company check.
What we specifically do for you.

Our company check covers all areas that are relevant to your competitiveness – strategy, organisation, processes, leadership, digitalisation and financial metrics. We do not just analyse figures, but examine people, structures and dependencies in context. You receive an objective analysis with prioritised recommendations for action.
Business succession
“The successor was sitting in the company the whole time.” We highlight opportunities that were previously invisible. From preparation to handover. The solution: A succession that is fair for all parties.
restructuring
Analyse structures. Clean up processes. Make key figures transparent. The downside of waiting: the crisis arrives faster than the solution. The upside of taking action: stability returns. Before it is too late.
Strategic realignment
Markets are changing. Your strategy needs to keep pace. The problem: many react too late. Because: clarity takes time. We define goals. Sharpen positioning. Develop strategies that work operationally.

Our company check in four clear steps

Analysis & Inventory
We gain a complete overview of your company – using structured templates and proven analytical tools that ensure quick results. In doing so, we speak not only with the management, but also with employees. The aim is to capture reality objectively, without operational blindness and with minimal strain on your internal resources.
Vulnerabilities & Potentials
Based on the analysis, we identify opportunities and risks: these include customer dependencies, people-driven processes, a lack of transparency in key figures, and untapped digitalisation opportunities. In doing so, we draw on field-tested empirical values from numerous consultancies to thoroughly assess your situation and introduce best practices that work.
Recommendations for action
We develop concrete, prioritised recommendations for action – not a 50-page analysis, but a clear to-do list with measures that you can implement operationally. All recommendations are coordinated with one another because we view all areas of the business in context rather than delivering isolated, siloed solutions.
Handover and knowledge transfer
Following the check, we remain by your side and accompany the implementation – not as theorists, but as practitioners who roll up their sleeves. Whether process optimisation, organisational restructuring or digitalisation projects – we work together with your team to tackle the areas for action until the improvements take effect.

Concrete results for
Your company

Following the company check, our customers receive not only a detailed overview of their situation, but also concrete starting points for improvement – from unclear dependencies to conscious risk management, from people-driven processes to stable structures, from gut feeling to data-driven decisions.
Risks identified – without complacency
Objective assessment of customer dependencies, staff shortages and process vulnerabilities – before they become a problem.
Action areas prioritised – with maximum impact
Coordinated measures across all business areas, sorted by impact and urgency – no siloed solutions.
Future secured
Not merely reacting in day-to-day operations, but working strategically on the business – for long-term competitiveness.
Individual and different.
Frequently asked questions and answers
A corporate check raises many questions. From implementation to execution. Here you will find answers to the most important topics regarding the procedure, duration and concrete results.
If you are wondering whether your business would run stably without you for three months, if you do not know your customer dependencies precisely, or if you feel that markets are changing faster than your structures, a check is also worthwhile before a planned succession or upcoming growth.
The costs depend on company size and the depth of the analysis. Following an initial conversation, we will prepare a transparent quotation tailored to your situation. A company check is an investment in strengthening your business's potential – and pays off through avoided mistakes and realised potential.
We speak with employees and key figures of your company. Once we have recorded the status quo, this is followed by a comprehensive catalogue of actions and recommendations from our side to implement the process as quickly as possible. We accompany you through this phase too, and only leave once the company has developed stable and sustainably effective potential.
We don't just analyse, we also support implementation. No 200-page concepts, but actionable to-do lists. Independent working style with minimal strain on your team. And through our network we have access to additional expertise when specialist topics arise.
