The Mayfair Return On Investment (ROI) Potential Index is a clear measurement tool which allows Investors to compare the immediate potential of a business with their own previous experience.

Managing risk requires thorough professional investigation and coherent, unambiguous reporting. These are the key qualities of Mayfair's ROI Potential Index.

The Mayfair ROI PotentialIndex

Business ROI Potential at a Glance.

We Investigate how well the Business has prepared for growth and high ROI. We extrapolate past performance to indicate potential for future achievements, then scrutinize the Management team's vision, gravitas and experience. We ask in depth questions and seek evidence for:

Marketing Business Strategy SalesLeadership Processes & Systems Customer ManagementPeople Financial Management SecurityLegal Management Structure Directors' Career History

Career history and personal aptitude for directing the business through growth is discovered through a psychometric analysis, and Mayfair's unique investigation into Skills, Experience and Achievements.

The higher the Index result for each of the above categories, the stronger Potential the business has for high performance at the next level of growth.

Finally we recommend key training, consultancy and business interventions to raise ROI Potential to the Investor's required level.
