I just wanted to thank Rishad for everything he has helped us with over the last couple of months. He spent quite a bit of time learning the ins and outs of our business. This is something we noticed with prior consultants, their lack of a fundamental understanding of our industry. Thankfully with Rishad we never has that issue. Almost all of the time we spent with him and his team felt truly meaningful. He helped us come up with internal processes to keep our eye on the ball and focused on the bottom line. This was a major change for us as most of our biggest issues were self inflicted. Without his help we would still be digging ourselves into a bigger and bigger hole.

The last eight weeks of working with CBS have been eye-opening. Their committed staff became an essential component of our business with ease, offering important guidance at every stop. They quickly earned our trust despite our different backgrounds because of their honest approach and desire to go above and beyond. Our company experienced a major transformation as a result of CBS’s insights, which have helped us restructure our management team and put effective procedures in place.

Lawrence and his team at CBS ended up being a game-changer for our business. They helped us develop a strategic marketing plan that in turn has significantly improved our sales numbers. This is just over the last couple of months so we are hopeful. They also helped us increase brand visibility and opened the door for us to add new locations. Their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to achieving results.

We worked mostly with Travis during our engagement. Other members of his team worked with our staff during the month long process. We found them to be engaging and knowledgable and willing to go the extra mile when it came to answering questions or explaining their processes. The amount of money we spent was significant so we had high expectations. I am happy to report that in our opinion those expectations were met and then some.

I feel like they understood the unique challenges our business has faced over the last few years. They didn't just come in and offer us a boiler plate business plan like some other companies we have used in the past. They actually came in and spent a great deal of time getting to know our business inside and out. They were able to tailor a plan of action that reflected the real issues concerns of our business. We had many difficult choices to make but it was much easier finally having all the information laid out in front of us. I am not sure we would have been able to make the hard choices without their help and only time will tell how successful they are. That being said so far the changes have made our day to day running of the company much smoother and we are no longer robbing peter to pay paul with regards to weekly payroll.

I wanted to come and post about our experience working with Justin and his team from CBS. We gave them a very specific scope of work that we needed help with and they stuck to it. In the past with other companies I had constantly keep an eye on the projects to make sure that extra work was not being done outside of our agreed upon contract. With CBS I never had to worry about that as they stayed on task and were completely transparent with their billings. I wanted to thank them again for all their help and I appreciate the time and care they put into working with our staff.

We met Darrel through a friend who had used him in the past on a few different projects. I knew we needed help on the operations and reporting side as we had grown quite a bit over the last couple of years. He was able to come in and totally overhaul how we handle our reporting and forecasting processes. It was by no means an easy process and we are still coming to grips on how it affects the rest of our business. For one thing it totally changed our purchasing and how we handle our real time stock levels. The biggest benefit has been to our cashflow and how we are no longer scrambling to make payroll. I am looking forward to the longterm benefit of our changes.

They tailored a strategy to help us overcome some issues that had crept up on us over the last few years. Our labor costs have soared over the past few years and we have not been diligent in increasing our costs to offset this. I am embarrassed to admit that it was only after implementing changes to our reporting process that it became obvious. Kevin helped us make some hard decisions that brought our labor costs back to reality and helped us come up with a comprehensive plan to increase our cost of services to match inflationary pressures.

Our business was in dire straits, facing financial challenges that seemed like a loss beyond fixing. Hiring Corporate Business Solutions was a game-changer. Their thorough business planning not only met our immediate needs but also provided a clear roadmap to financial recovery.

CBS is one of the good guys in the world of business advisory services. Their attention to detail and comprehensive approach is one of the reasons we have had them back twice since our first go around in 2019. They not only met our objectives, but they also left no stone unturned in helping us optimize our processes. It's rare to find such a combination of honesty and dedication in one place.

CBS helped us come up with a reorganization plan after we acquired two new locations. I knew we needed outside helps since adding two new locations meant a lot of new moving parts to come to terms with. They were able to help us onboard the new locations to our internal platforms as well as implementing a new reporting system they would better work across all locations. It was a costly process but one that was needed and one that we are glad to have completed. We probably will have them back in the future to work on some other projects.

Their commitment to our success was evident from the start, and we look forward to a long-lasting partnership with Jared and his team at CBS. Without their help and guidance, we would have had to close our doors month ago.

As a small business owner, I reached out to Corporate Business Solutions seeking guidance on problems stemming from some recent location acquisitions. From our very first meeting, I was impressed by their professionalism and depth of knowledge. They not only met but exceeded my expectations. They provided invaluable insights and tailored solutions that have already started yielding positive results.

Originally skeptical of the promises and thought the scope of work was too much for the timeframe they quoted. They made me a believer after the second week of working with them. The first few days was tough as we had to accept some hard realities on some real problems in how we were running things. After the third week it started to turn around and the changes we were implementing seemed to make a difference right away. Hopefully once we finish implementing all the changes we can start performing at a level I know we belong at.

We hired cbs for a comprehensive business analysis, and the results led us to signing them to a much longer and more in-depth engagement. Their team displayed expertise in our industry and provided invaluable insights that helped us streamline our operations and increase our margins. They helped us lower labor costs without having to let anyone go. We actually ended up hiring more people. Highly recommended them.

After taking over what I thought was a thriving business in 2022 I ended up in over my head. I had experience with CBS from my last employer and decided to give them a call. They came in and helped me make sense of the mess I was left and organize things in a logical way. It has now been a few months since our engagement and ended and I finally feel like I have a handle on things. If it was not for their help I am not sure we would still be open. I learned a good lesson in the value of due diligence.

We worked with Brian for almost three and I have nothing but positive things to say. He took the time and really dug into our industry and the internal workings of our company. We have used consultants in the past but they would always recommend the most obvious changes or roll out cookie cutter business plans. Brian actually took the time to tailor his recommendations to not only our specific company but our industry. We found real value in his advice and will be reaching out to him again in the future.

I couldn't be more pleased with the services I received from Jonathan and his team at Corporate Business Solutions. Their guidance and insight have made me rethink and the way I approach my business. They took the time to understand my company's unique challenges and provided tailored solutions that have resulted in increased efficiency and profitability. Their professionalism and dedication are something I value and hope to work with them again.

Our experience with CBS has need nothing short of positive. The last few weeks has shown us that over the last few years we have been running incredibly inefficiently. While our revenue has been steadily increasing our margins and in the end profits have been flat. We are basically treading water and because of our inability to properly track in realtime we never noticed. Lawrence was able to help us implement real time tracking and inventory management. This was an expensive and laborious undertaking but one I am thankful we did. Without the help from Lawrence and CBS I do not think we would have been able to accomplish it.
