WHAT WE DO
Small Business Incubator
Our Approach
Shoulder to shoulder, step by step
We thrive on deciphering complex issues, planning complicated projects, and supporting the growth and stability of businesses, communities, and professionals.
​Those we serve drive the momentum of our process but our approach is the same for all. Whether a large corporation planning a complicated merger, a community initiative addressing funding gaps, a startup being brought into the incubator, or any other business seeking our services we revel in the uniqueness of the problems at hand. We work to stabilize the livelihoods of families and the economies of their communities, and unite them in partnership for the greater good.
Our Process
The One Voice Institute Small Business Incubator is a unique, agile management consulting program that spotlights and uplifts new, upcoming, and growing entrepreneurial ventures by identifying their needs, recognizing their resource gaps, offering economical professional services, and acting as mentor and sherpa on their road to success.
