Shaving with Razor

Small Biz Assistance

We are happiest when we are in community with local business owners, since we both have a vested interest in the health of the neighborhoods in which we live, work and play.

Partnering with Cook County, Illinois Dept of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, we are able to offer 1-hour technical assistance on a range of topics, in both English and Spanish, including:

Human Resources (staffing, benefits, onboarding, conflict resolution)

Finance (business taxes, budgeting and accounting)

Marketing (logos, communication, websites and social media)

Trademarking

To set up an appointment, please reach out to Diane Ruiz, MBA.
