Assessment
How much does an assessment cost?
There is no charge for the initial assessment. The cost is your time and energy. You will proceed through a questionnaire with a member of the RSC Business Group staff. Remember, our analysis is only as good as the information you provide.
Do you have more than one assessment?
Yes, RSC Business Group has a variety of matrices by which to assess and measure your business. The initial assessment is designed to show you: Current conditions of the operations of your business, Clarified goals and vision of leadership, Structural and operational principles missing and required for reaching those goals, SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat).
How is an Assessment performed?
One of the RSC Business Group staff will meet with you and spend up to two or more hours discussing your current business situation. This can be done in person or remotely.
How Does It Benefit You?
The initial assessment benefits you, the business owner/operator, and RSC Business Group, as it helps you gain a deeper understanding of your own situation and allows us to gain more insight into the current business climate of your industry. Discover how you can take your business to the next level and see what is truly possible today.

Some business case studies
Event Production – revenue reaches $1.2 million per year
Encino, California – RSC took a business that was selling products, and making no profit, to a service provider with an annual income of $1.2 million, up from $6,000 monthly. Through a coaching relationship, this client saw a vast improvement in their bottom line in just 18 months.
Acupuncturist – 1,000% earnings increase
West Los Angeles, California – Recently graduated from acupuncture school, this client was making $800 a month working for someone else. Within three months, she was making $8,000 a month. This coaching relationship took a page from Chinese medicine – keep health, and don't wait to get sick. Using that approach, we proactively marketed, and she was able to sell her business for $1 million dollars after her business to flourish.
Multi-business Owner – 1,000% increase in profits
Downtown Los Angeles, California – Utilizing RSC's unique approach to business coaching, we took a wholesale clothier, who despised paying taxes, and challenged him to pay the IRS $1 million a year in taxes. Why? Because it would mean he was making even more money. Now, he proudly displays a check to the IRS for $1 million dollars near his cash register.
Computer Parts Business to Mini-conglomerate – 600% revenue increase
Downtown Los Angeles, California – From shop owner to mogul in two years. This client took his small shop and grew the business from an annual revenue of $200,000 to $1.2 million. How?
