TLC Strategy + Action Plan ~
tailored just to you, and your business needs
A popular package for new business owners, or existing businesses who want a refresh and maybe a shift is my Strategy, Action and Business Development Plan.
​
In this, we determine your goals, uncover any challenges, and get to work on setting up your business strategically, with action steps to reach your business goals and longer term vision.
​
As every business is different, and needs vary, Tara begins each client relationship with a 45 minute / $75 initial consult to determine your needs, and the timeline and extent of our working project. (Consult fee waived upon contract)
​
Next - Tara will develop a project plan to work with you on your business complete with cost, timeline and deliverables.

12 Month Retained Consulting
Good People Saying Good Things.
Tara and I have collaborated on several iterations of business plans since 2010 – all of which turn to Gold! I have retained Tara’s services for many years now as my primary consultant in planning and management support from Succession planning in the sale and transfer of my Qualicum Beach Salon to the development and ongoing growth of Natural Evolution Hair Studio - a full service sustainable salon that creates beautiful hair using the highest quality natural professional products.
Through each shift and change, Tara has been there to work with me one to one, ensuring my business has practical, meaningful, and personalized consulting that benefits my business, my staff, and myself, as the business owner.
Tara and I have both a great friendship and working business relationship – a rare and pleasant treat. I highly recommend Tara and TL Consulting Inc for knowledgeable and practical business support for your venture.
