Free Business Consulting Services

Don’t have any money for a business consultant? If you don’t mind being a student project, then you should turn to the Small Business Consulting Program at Columbia Business School. This is a semester long program that matches up talented business students with businesses in need of guidance. Every semester, a business is matched up with a group of students that evaluate how the business is doing from all angles before making suggestions. A business interested in this program must submit an application by the appropriate deadline, and in the final phases of the selection business owners are asked to attend a student/client mixer so meet and explain their businesses. All the students have access to mentors with significant experience in the industry. You can find more information about the program at http://www0.gsb.columbia.edu/students/organizations/sbcp/index.htm
