FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing depends on the scope of the project, the complexity of your business needs, and the level of research or ongoing support required. I typically begin with a Business Growth & Funding Strategy Session so we can understand your goals, identify potential opportunities, and determine the best next steps. For businesses needing ongoing assistance, I also offer strategic advisory and consulting engagements. My goal is not simply to send you a list of grants. I help you determine which funding, workforce, incentive, AI, and growth opportunities make sense for your business and develop a strategy for pursuing them. I will always discuss pricing and expectations with you before beginning an engagement.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process begins with understanding your business before recommending solutions. First, I learn about: What your business does How long you have been operating Your current number of employees Your revenue and stage of growth What you are trying to accomplish What you need funding or resources for Your plans for hiring, training, expansion, equipment, or growth Next, I assess potential grants, workforce programs, incentives, funding resources, AI opportunities, and other strategies that may support your goals. From there, we create a prioritized action plan so you know what opportunities are worth pursuing and what your next steps should be. When appropriate, I can continue working with you through an ongoing Business Growth & Funding Advisory engagement.
