Call in the Experts
Over 35 years of combined small business ownership experience rolled into one dream team dedicated to your success.
OUR MISSION
Surround the ambitious visionary with business support, strategies, and services both done WITH you and done FOR you so you can launch with ease and peace of mind knowing it’s built right the first time.
Small Business Cultivator was dreamed up when Amanda, our Chief of Strategy, realized so many of her clients needed help with the same 7 key areas: coaching, strategy/messaging, branding design, systems, website design, marketing, and finances.
She saw business owners putting their precious energy into DIYing, piecing things together one at a time without clear direction, and hoping they’re investing in the right thing first, rather than enjoying the freedom and flexibility they were promised as a small business owner.
Added up, those obstacles create a lack of confidence, slow growth, burnout, and frustration where there should be joy and abundance.
We created Small Business Cultivator to serve as a clearcut path to more ease, confidence, clarity, and empowerment.
This unique agency-esque format allows our team of industry experts to work harmoniously and holistically to ensure each piece of the puzzle works together seamlessly for a strong foundation.
Within 120 days, business owners experience a deeply impactful transformation and come away from the experience with a business that is streamlined, elevated, sustainable, and joyful.
Meet the team of time-tested businesswomen equipping our clients with the tools they need to create the business they always dreamed of and the freedom to focus on what’s most important. →
