How it works

Three steps. At the end of each one, you get it in writing: what we found and what we suggest.

Before we start

Your counselor sends us what they already have, like testing or interest surveys. You do not repeat it.

You put in sweat equity from day one. We are your business consultant, and you do real work in every step.

1Check the idea (feasibility study)

We study your market with real data: who buys, who else sells, and what it takes to start and keep going. We look at your skills and what the work asks of you.

If the outlook is weak, we suggest how to reshape the idea. That can save you time and money.

2Build the plan (plan development)

We break the business down task by task, so the plan says exactly how it runs. It covers what you sell, who buys it, how you reach them and how the money works.

Each task becomes a step-by-step process in the tools you will use. We set up your customer system (CRM), scheduling and bookkeeping with you.

If you need assistive technology, that is its own service. We make sure the plan and the technology fit.

3Get it going (consultation and implementation)

You run the business from those tools, step by step, and we take the first steps with you. When something stalls, we work out why and adjust the plan or the setup.

As sales come in, your numbers stay current in your bookkeeping.

After each step

You and your counselor decide what comes next.

In person and online

We meet in person in every step. In between, we work remotely when it fits and you, your counselor and we agree.
