Business Concierge
Because only the best & most trustworthy will do.
By researching and partnering with trusted businesses who have proven track records, you can avoid scammers and companies that don't deliver on their promises.
This page is full of services and professionals that I feel are the best of the best. Whenever possible, they are companies or people with whom I have had direct experience.
Whether your experience with any of the following is positively perfect, or if it's less than stellar, I'd really like to know. I'm extremely selective and careful about making referrals because it's so important to me that you succeed and not be taken advantage of. If any of these services or businesses fails to deliver on the quality that once was the standard for them, I need to update the list promptly. Thank you!

DISCLOSURE: If you follow a link to Amazon and complete a purchase there for one of the books below, I will receive a commission. This is the case with some of the non-Amazon companies I refer you to, as well. Rest assured, though, that I have not recommended ANYTHING that I don't strongly believe in, and I have NOT chosen to include anything on the basis of whether a referral reward is offered or not. In some cases, you may receive a discounted rate or special if you let them know that I was the one who referred you, whether or not I receive a referral reward.
One of the biggest challenges that micropreneurs face is getting small business funding. A lot of us don't have the resources to pursue bank loans or seek the right kind of investors. After many, many years of searching for valid options, I've finally come across a company I feel great about recommending because I had such an excellent experience with them myself.
Their approach is unlike anything I'd experienced before and the support was both refreshing and reassuring. They call their unique and effective way of securing funds for small businesses their "Strategic Lender Matching Platform." To me, that means that they match you with the right lenders for your situation AND take into consideration the lenders who were most likely to approve your request for a business line of credit.
FundWise specializes in unsecured lines of credit -- meaning that you don't have to put your house or car at risk when you apply. Everyone's journey with FundWise consultants is customized according to their individual situation, and you don't have to have perfect credit.
If you aren't able to qualify quite yet, they'll tell you what you need to do qualify as soon as possible. You might need a personal loan to pay down outstanding revolving lines of credit to improve your credit rating and if that's the case, not only will they provide you with that information, they'll even help you secure that loan!
The personal attention and attentiveness to my concerns and questions was outstanding, and they even provide you with a wealth of great information after you've gotten your line (or lines, if your situation warrants it) of credit.
This program is not free, but I feel their fee is fair based on all the extras you get with their guidance. The care, consulting, and education you receive go well beyond the value of your business funds.
