We do not make loans, nor can we perform such activities as preparing your taxes or provide you with legal advice. However, we can offer suggestions as to how you can best work with accountants, lawyers, bankers, advertising agencies and other professionals. We can also make referals as needed.
Just give us a call at (608) 342-1038. During your initial visit we will discuss your needs and determine how to best meet them. Typically we recommend a combination of both individual counseling and seminars as it offers the greatest benefit to our small business clients. For example, if you are thinking about starting a small business, we may suggest that you first participate in a seminar that will help you determine the feasibility of your business idea or show you how you can prepare a business plan. Once you have completed the seminar, you may make an appointment with our counselor. This individual will meet with you and discuss your specific concerns and needs.
