We provide a one-on-one assessment that is unique to your business, and then offer process improvements, recommendations and action plans. We at SunBiz Showcase Alliance understand the small business owner who has to do everything (sometimes alone). We understand that a small business owner does not have a board of directors to assist or help to clarify even simple issues. Consider us your board of directors!

We work with non-profit organizations, faith-based and small communities to help build capacity within their organizations. We will research grants and funding sources that will support the organization. For small businesses needing funding sources, we will review the need and recommend a funding institution.

SunBiz Showcase Alliance hosts business seminars and business showcases to support small businesses and help them to develop recognition. Branding is important to every business, especially small businesses that are between 1and 9 employees. It is important for them to be supported by a reputable strategist, not just a business advisor.
