our services
We have an extensive background in everything from the startup and launch process for a new business to operational topics such as finance or marketing, to building a company culture and addressing crises. We work collaboratively with business owners on their specific needs, so there’s no perfect list of categories or topics we can help with, but please see below for a sampling of topics we’ve tackled here or in our various other businesses. We look at every consulting project as a unique opportunity to continue to grow and learn, so whatever you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out. If we can’t help, we’ll be the first to admit that.
covid-19 services
The world is a crazy place right now – we’re dealing with this in one of our own businesses and have no idea what our future holds. If you’re in the same boat, we can help with guidance on navigating shutdowns, government assistance, rent deferrals and abatements, and more to get through this difficult period. And maybe even more importantly, planning for when the clouds lift and it’s time to get back to doing what you do in a possibly very different economic environment.

Examples of our services
I have a business idea but am not sure where to even start?
Before anything else, we can discuss whether starting a business is right for you. We can look at your personality and figure out your strengths and where you might struggle. We can look everything from the time and financial commitments involved to the different ways to setup the legal structure of your business. We can discuss your risk tolerance and find the right strategies to move forward. We can do individual sessions to tackle specific questions, or set up an ongoing business coaching relationship.
i accidentally posted something bad on social media and now my cafe is in a pr crisis. Help!
In any crisis, steady leadership & a solid communication strategy is critical – for your employees, your customers, and everyone else impacted by your business. In a scenario like this, it’s easy to panic and make things worse. We can provide an outside perspective and work together to figure out what went wrong and how to get ahead of the problem. How can we calm the waters and make things right? And once things settle, what do we need to change going forward to ensure this doesn’t happen again?
