We match you with an advisor who knows your stage and industry.
Talk through where your business is now and where you want it to go.
Come back as often as you need. Advising continues as your business changes.
Our advisors work with owners on the everyday and the big decisions. If your question isn't listed, ask anyway.
We serve entrepreneurs and small businesses in eight Ohio counties: Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Shelby. Our office is in downtown Dayton, and advising is free for businesses anywhere in our service area.
Bring a short description of your business or idea, any numbers you already have (such as costs, prices or sales), and the questions you most want answered. You don't need a finished business plan. Your advisor will help you decide what to work on first.
Yes. Advising isn't a one-time appointment. You can come back as your business changes, whether you're launching, applying for a loan, hiring your first employee or looking for new markets.
