ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS

We support entrepreneurs and small business owners where they are.

We understand that every entrepreneur and small business owner has a unique journey. As a leading U.S. advisory and consulting services provider in the economic development arena, we meet business owners where they are—whether they are just starting out, scaling up, or overcoming challenges.

Our approach is rooted in facilitation and peer-to-peer learning, not traditional lecture-style teaching. We believe that meaningful growth happens through collaboration, shared experiences, and active engagement.

By providing training, mentorship, and hands-on support, we empower entrepreneurs and small business owners to gain the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to thrive.

Let ISM support you in building a stronger business and business community.

Strategy and implementation is what we love. Our approach emphasizes facilitation and peer-to-peer learning, fostering collaboration, engagement, and shared experiences—building strong, supportive ecosystems that drive measurable growth and long-term success.
