About
K.O. Consulting, LLC’s goal is simply to provide affordable consulting in a wide range of areas that fall under the umbrella of political campaigns, small businesses development (mainly for start-ups) and small not for profits assistance. This includes but is not limited to strategic and tactical planning, grassroots strategies, fundraising, creation of business plans and grant writing- more specifics can be found under the Services section.
K.O. Consulting, LLC is confident in our skill set- but will never take on a project where we can’t provide the client satisfaction. To make sure your needs are met- our practice is to meet with you-the client prior to taking on your project, so we can understand your needs, the scope of your project and make sure we have a clear understanding of what the client needs are and our ability to assist those needs- this helps ensure all parties know expectations and are satisfied with the process. If your project isn’t the right fit for K.O. Consulting, LLC, we will provide recommendations for agencies and organizations who are a better fit for your needs.
K.O. Consulting, LLC’s passion remains service to our clients and the economic development of the Mahoning Valley region. We have a deep belief that politics, government, non-profits and the private sector (small business) all play a crucial role in the economic development of a region. It is through that belief that our consulting operates as a conduit to these sectors to ensure economic development and business success.
Many non-profits and small businesses simply do not have the capacity to have a staff member dedicated to fundraising, grant writing or many of the services necessary to thrive in competitive industries- that’s where we come in- let K.O. Consulting, LLC help you build your small business, grow your non-profits reach or win your election.
K.O. Consulting, LLC is a good choice for your business, non-profit or candidacy for three simple reasons; experience, results and affordability.
