Startup Strategy

Get onto the path to success from the very first step 

“With Larry at your side, you can feel confident that you have caring, dedicated, and trustworthy support to get you through it all.”

– Keara Connor, MAEd, Founder/Teacher, Kaiwa Art and Play Space

My dual focus is to create an overarching strategy for your startup while also determining the details that need to be accomplished to make it a reality. I can set you on the path to success from the very first step by:

  • Generating financial plans and forecasts,
  • Using funding contacts for SBA loans and lines of credit,
  • Negotiating with vendors, and
  • Targeting customers.

Take your idea from a sketch on a napkin to a viable business. Create a pitch that will show investors the potential of your idea. Then get ready to open your doors with all the essential financial and strategic plans in place. I can help take it from "dream" to "open for business."

“When my business was just an idea scribbled on a piece of paper, Larry helped point me in the right direction to get things started and has mentored me through every step of the process of developing my business.”

– Mike McKinney, CEO, Sto-N-Sho
