Business consultants for start ups?

Question

Are there any business consulting firms that guide young entrepreneurs to set up a business from a business plan? Guiding them all the way through the checklists that every new small business needs to go through.

- Financing is not the issue here, it is the organization and better brainstorming.

Answer 1

I am not aware of any consultant firm that will do that sort of thing.

It sure would have been useful when I started up my business.

May I suggest you google "young entrepreneurs association". They may have resources for what your looking for.

Or, check out this web site, I just found it right now.

Answer 2

If you don't mind paying, those big four accounting firms e.g. Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, KPMG surely have business consultancy department to help you out.

Answer 3

What you might be looking for is business coaching for small businesses.  For example, there is a company based out of northern California that offers business coaching for national and international small businesses, but I don't have their information on hand.  Try an online search and see what you come up with.
