Small businesses often operate in isolation without the network of contacts and information available to large companies. Small business owners and managers typically lack the fundamental skills in key aspects of management that are required to develop a truly successful business. Organizations formed to supply help and information to businesses are poorly designed and inaccessible for most small-to-medium sized enterprises. They are also largely governmental, bureaucratic and remote in nature. As a small business advisor, I fill this gap by offering a single reference point where businesses could obtain relevant information and support.

I consult on a month-to-month contractual basis to assist a company in any aspect necessary during that time period. There are a large variety of business topics that can be addressed.
