Free Business Advising
You probably started your business because you love what you do – maybe designing jewelry, caring for people, cooking up amazing food, or even building things. You had a passion!
But now? You're likely juggling everything: being the boss, marketing, product design, managing supplies, making sales... the list goes on. Who has the bandwidth for all that?
Think of it as your support crew. We take a personal approach to help you solve the specific challenges your business is facing.
We can help with things like:
Figuring out finances
Marketing or boosting sales
Making operations run smoother
Pivoting your business strategy
Keeping your employees happy and engaged
Adding better job benefits
Our expert advisors will work directly with you on your biggest business hurdles. And the best part? Signing up is fast, easy, and completely free.
We connect business owners like you with amazing advisors – experienced entrepreneurs, skilled professionals, and leaders from major companies who volunteer their time. They genuinely want to use their know-how to help local businesses succeed and create more opportunities right here in their communities.
