Small Business Success Stories
Guidant is a perfect vehicle for small businesses to get established. We would not have been able to start the brewery without them.
Suzie & Todd, Noda Brewing Company; Charlotte, NC For husband and wife Todd and Suzie, the key to spending more time together was small business ownership. With Guidant’s help, the couple transformed their long-time home-brew hobby into their dream business.
[Guidant walks] you through the entire process of buying a business. They make sure you are set up for success. You are in business for yourself, but you are not by yourself.
Bohnne, Decorating Den; Nashville, TN After experiencing a series of layoffs, Bohnne was ready for a career makeover. She took control of her future and embarked on an encore career as a business owner.
We wanted to start our business using our 401(k) funds, but we had no idea how to do it. Our friend told us about Guidant Financial, and so we contacted them and had a great experience.
Rand & Janeel, eyeSmith Sport & Fashion Optical; Kansas City, MO After raising eight children, Rand and Janeel were ready to start a new chapter for their family. The couple put their past business experience to good use and tapped into their retirement funds to start an independent eyewear business.
The one piece of advice I would give to entrepreneurs is [to] just go for it … There’s a lot of things you have to think about, but just say ‘yes, I’m going to do it.’
Richard and Jo-Anne The Parsonage Inn; Cape Cod, ME After 30 years in the airline industry, traveling the world and raising five children, Richard and Jo-Anne wanted to tackle a new adventure: business ownership. Guidant helped the couple buy an existing business so they could enjoy being their own boss for once.
