Proven Techniques for Success
Steve is a fantastic and seasoned business development coach. Steve has a wealth of knowledge on franchise business which makes him an ideal business advisor for a business owner who needs to distinguish the trees from the forest. I am so glad that we found him at an early stage of our new franchise business. He consulted us on business strategy and established an operating structure when we were just starting out. We are very grateful to Steve for helping us build the scalable operating model and service delivery structure that enabled us to meet and deliver the customer needs. Personally, I have learned a lot from Steve and admire his realistic approach to all things in business.

Lifetime of Experience
In 2008 when I decided to explore my options for a new career, or business ownership, I called Steve Hamilton to walk me through the steps to make an informed decision. I decided to become a business owner, and even though I had little experience with running my own business, Steve was there to advise and guide me through the early years. His advice helped me achieve my goals for the business and my personal goals as well. He has been a trusted resource and sounding board, and I highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for assistance in starting/growing a business, purchasing one, or planning your exit strategy.

Best Business Practices
Steve Hamilton is an artist in life and running & growing businesses. With many years of business ownership experiences, Steve knows how to help your business to be successful. In my personal experience, it amazed me knowing someone really cares and wants to help even when I didn’t ask for it. During a visit recently, Steve kindly pointed out one thing that would be great to add into my “commercial”. It was simple, easy to apply, good for the marketing and great to grow the business. The next day Steve wrote me a suggested commercial to include what he mentioned during our previous visit. It was a surprise! I love how Steve cares about small businesses, especially franchisees. He understands where you come from and he wants to see you succeed. If you have a business you want to grow, get with Steve Hamilton; even just for a simple chat, you will understand what I mean!

Proven Techniques for Success
I met Steve Hamilton years ago while I was in the process of wanting to open a franchise. I had zero experience with opening and/or running a business; I was actually a teacher.
I thought I had done my due diligence by hiring a great company to help me with my business plan, but little did I know my plan was far from being viable. I went from bank to bank presenting my “plan” and heard, “Sorry, no,” over and over. I was beyond frustrated and didn’t know where to turn for help.
I found Steve after doing research on the Small Business Development Center. I contacted him, we met, and my life was forever changed! He helped groom my business plan by showing me what it takes for a business to survive the first few years. He also helped make sure that I had the tools and resources necessary to have my small business be successful when I opened. After 10 years, I was able to sell my business, that he helped me start, and go on to the next adventure in my life! Thank you, Steve!!!
