4. Why Us?
Traditionally when a business gets started, an Accountant or Attorney is hired
to set up the legal entity (articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, tax
id etc), which is in fact the first step of starting a business….. but what
happens after that?
Where do small business owners go to establish their Business Profile (DNB
# / Paydex Score, Experian #, References etc.) to improve the company’s
chance of receiving financial services such as loans, credit lines, lease and
credit accounts? Who do they call to help them identify financial programs
that are available? What about business, marketing or strategic plan
development? Don’t forget about logos, websites, business cards,
communication support (voicemail, fax, and email) and marketing material?
Each element is essential to successfully launching, sustaining and growing
a small business and Head Start Small Business Advisors can affordably
provide them all to you!

9. Summary
Until now, business consulting of this magnitude has been out of reach for
the majority of small business owners. Mainly because consulting firms
have “traditionally” been to expensive to retain.
The fact remains, however, that in order to achieve short and long term
objectives, small business owners “must” be able to tap into the expertise,
experience, strategic direction and resources that business consultants
have to offer.
Head Start Small Business Advisors completely understands the
challenges that you face….. Help us help you overcome them.
