The Need: Local businesses need an affordable source of experienced advice and service support just like larger national companies.
The Solution: Use qualified senior executives to provide advice, experience, mentoring and hands on services as required by local businesses.

For $150 the Retail Merchants Association offers a Confidential Preliminary Interview and Business Process Audit for all Members. The Association contributes $75 for Retail Members, thus the net cost for Retail Members is $75. The Business Support Center can also provide you with long-term services at reduced fees.
