​I started Maine Street Business Consulting because I believe small business owners deserve someone in their corner.

​

I've spent years working with Maine business owners through banking, business advising, workforce development, and now through my own business. And one thing I've learned is that running a business doesn't always come with clear answers.

​

There are a lot of resources out there. A lot of advice. And a lot of people telling you what you should be doing.

​

But sometimes you need someone to sit down with you, look at your actual business, and help you figure out what makes sense for you.

​

That's the kind of consultant I try to be.

​

I'll ask questions. I'll tell you when I think something doesn't make sense. I'll help you look at the numbers, understand your options, find the right resources, and break a big problem into something you can actually work through.

​

And when you know what needs to happen but don't have the time or capacity to do it yourself, I can help with that too.

​

I believe Maine needs small businesses that don't just open their doors, but stay open for years to come.
