What's the difference between market research and a business plan?

Market research is the data and analysis — market size, competitors, customer demand. A business plan uses that research to build your strategy and financials. We offer both, and market research often comes first.

Can you research my specific St. Louis competitors?

Yes. We audit your local competitors — their offerings, pricing, positioning, reviews, and marketing — and identify gaps and opportunities you can exploit.

How long does market research take?

Most research projects take 2 to 4 weeks depending on scope. We give you a clear timeline and deliver a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations.

Are consultations really free?

Yes. Every engagement starts with a free, no-pressure consultation. We tell you the scope and the price up front so you can decide before any work begins.

How do you price your services?

We give clear, flat-rate quotes for most projects instead of billing by the hour. You see the total before we start, so there are no surprises.

Do you handle small one-item projects?

We do. A single LLC filing, a one-page website, a logo refresh, a Google Business Profile setup — small jobs are most of what we handle. Bundling a few services into one engagement keeps the cost down.

Can you form an LLC for me in Missouri?

Yes. We prepare and file Missouri LLC formation paperwork, obtain your EIN, and serve as your Missouri registered agent. We handle the administrative filing — we don't provide legal advice, so for complex ownership structures we'll refer you to a licensed attorney.

Do you design websites for small businesses?

Yes — affordable WordPress and Shopify sites for contractors, restaurants, and local service businesses across the St. Louis metro. We also redesign existing sites that need a refresh.

Can you manage our Google Ads and local SEO?

Yes. We set up and manage Google Ads campaigns, optimize your Google Business Profile, and run local SEO that puts your business in front of St. Louis customers searching for what you do.

We don't provide legal advice. For complex ownership structures, litigation, or other legal matters, we'll refer you to a licensed attorney and coordinate around their work. We do offer bookkeeping, accounting, and tax preparation (CPA) services, fractional CFO support, payroll, and financial planning.
