Tell us about your great Experience working with us!
Working with Heather has been an amazing learning tool. I now have a web presence for my new busisness and I can manage my web page and update it as my business grows. She has given me the confidence to do what I love to do and direction on how to achieve my dreams. I always leave our meetings with my "to-do" list and look forward to sharing with her what I have discovered.

Working with West Company has been such a wonderful and positive experience. Heather Gurewitz is so encouraging and has helped me navigate the 'mystery' of Google, among other things.
As sole proprietor of a one person photography business, I found it daunting to learn everything one needs to know about websites, marketing, and business plans, while actually doing my photography work. I was a bit discouraged and overwhelmed before I became a client of West Company.
Many thanks to Heather, Melissa and all the wonderful people at West Company for your guidance and for helping me grow my business.
Best wishes,

"As the result of a consultation with the West Company, I now realize I was actually quite naive to the realities of how business works in today's markets, and how entrepreneurship and philanthropy can interface. I also now realize that I had some pretty cockamamie ideas on how to begin to accomplish my objectives. Had it not been for West Company intervention, my attempts would have most certainly been doomed to ultimate failure.
Obviously, in business as in life there is no guarantee of success. But thanks to West Company, I am now in the process of growing my business in a cogent, organized, step by step method that will insure a much greater chance of ultimately succeeding in what I am trying to accomplish. With my new business knowledge skills and with the confidence that the West Company has helped me develop, I feel my chances of ultimate success have been significantly improved." - Jim Bazil

The West Company has supported me for 16 years in a couple of ways. First of all, they have provided me with tremendous resources, information, and friendly encouragement. Secondly, just knowing they exist (helping small businesses such as mine) keeps me going. I don't feel as isolated as I might in a small community without West Company.

The West Company has helped me figure out a way to get my business started without the substantial cost of diving right into a retail business. With Nancy Banker's help, we figured out that an online retail business utilizing Chubby's Shared Use Kitchen was a much more 'boot-strap' way of beginning.
