@AnnMarie BacchusIt depends on what you expect to receive from this professional relationship and on what your business plan is.

Was promised a 30 day close and after 90 days I pulled out of the process with them and returned my business to Civic.

I could write a book on it.. and maybe i will one day.. but for fun watch Glenn Garry Glen Ross that is the land business of which i grew up in..

Certified Tax Coach teaches accounting professionals how to bilk their clients for maximum fees, which Tax Coach in turn does to those seeking the Certified Tax Coach certification by charging large monthly fees on top of the required classes and conferences.And yes, it's not a "real" credential, just something they dole out to the tax professionals who spend ridiculous amounts of money for their services.You can find good accountants who will work pro-actively for you without all the monkey business.

I'm only on Airbnb now, conducting thorough market research and analysis is key to understanding the dynamics of any business or area you're considering. 

SEC and receivership company is also busy these days haha LOL not too mention forensic accounting.

I have turned to a few private lenders some have considered the idea but the fact that they don't do business in Puerto Rico hinges my efforts. 

Services I am looking to get help with are business entity creation, tax planning, asset protection and tax prep.   

Columbus, Ohio specifically is seeing a lot of growth from big tech companies expanding their business into the market.

If I had deep pockets I would snag up all the Ruby Tuesdays, Fridays, etc that are going out of business.
