Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of working with Core Business Intelligence?
Core Business Intelligence provides small- and medium-sized businesses with the benefit of utilizing a C-suite executive with over 25 years of experience, so they can grow their business the intelligent way, by selecting a timeframe that suits their budget and project requirements, without the long-term financial commitment of a full-time employee.
How can a start-up or small business utilize Core’s services?
Core Business Intelligence understands that the small business owner would prefer to collaborate with another experienced executive – someone who could oversee, assist or execute operational, compliance, human resource, technology, marketing and/or business development priorities and strategic goals. Core also understands that start-ups and small businesses must be cautious before hiring a full- or part-time employee. Core eliminates that concern by offering two solutions for the small business owner: Fractional Executive services (1 – 4 days per week); Business Advising services (hourly).
