Grainy Days Kitchen
1:1 consultations with my business advisor were the most
valuable assistance I could have received. The information on the SBA website is very helpful as well. The
ability to have one on one conversations with an advisor was very helpful for myself to get questions answered
that are specific to my industry and my business. This also allowed me to make real progress in my business by
setting attainable goals and weekly check-ins. My advisor would hold me accountable to the things I agreed to
accomplish, and that is a resource I desperately need as a chronic overthinker. The assistance with my website
is also an invaluable resource. There is so much I do not know about website design. The ability to have
conversations with someone who is familiar with this and is there to help me succeed is so important to me. I
am forever grateful for SBDC, my advisors, and their guidance.” -Rachel Kim Richofsky, Owner
