I have extensive experience supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses through consulting, project-based work, technology development, and business financing. This includes creating and managing www.empoweredstartbusinessguide.com, a web-based application designed to provide tools and resources for business planning. My work spans developing marketing strategies, financial planning, and designing professional websites. As a former business lender, I have financed and analyzed diverse businesses, adding depth to my understanding of their financial needs. Additionally, I’ve mentored entrepreneurs, helping them refine strategies and achieve their goals. This blend of experience has given me valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by small businesses.
