Testimonials
An engagement with us is collaborative; we develop a tool created through a mutual consultative process. You ask the questions; we have the answers. We tell you what you need to hear.
A business plan is not a commodity. It is a dynamic instrument reflecting your honest forethought and engagement with your venture, illustrating to investors that you are eager, capable, and ready to transform your ideas into a real business.
Your "voice" must be heard and articulated in the plan. The clients below have meshed with our ethos and are perfect examples of collaborative success.
“The document has already gotten us interviews with investors and VCs
I wanted to write a formal letter of thanks for Michael Cassella's work (and Ethos 360's work by extension) on our company's business plan.
Michael was highly competent and professional as expected, but we were so grateful for his level of accessibility. He made himself available to speak to us on a frequent basis, and the result was a high quality business plan that exceeded all our needs.
Your company's efforts on the Bezerra Corporation's business plan have created an effective and eye-pleasing document that has already gotten us interviews with investors and VCs that we did not have before. For this, we are extremely grateful for all the work Michael and your team at Ethos 360 have done for us. I would strongly recommend Ethos 360 (and Michael in particular) to anyone looking to take their investor retention and business planning stages to the next level.”

“Christian and the entire team at Ethos have been completely amazing
Hi Jeff,
I'd recommend Ethos 360 in a second. Christian and the entire team at Ethos have been completely amazing for us. Anything I seem to send them from plan review to contract or strategy advice gets immediate attention and is done better than I thought I could ever expect. After initially engaging with them and experiencing some the obvious talent in the group, I immediately saw that maintaining a close working relationship with the team there for as long as I could afford it was going to be a critical advantage for us and essential to our success. Now I basically rely on Ethos for most if not all of my major business consulting needs and will highly recommend them to anyone. I'm certain you won't be disappointed.
Sincerely,
Yuri Green

Just thought I would let my "new family" know the demo at Whole Foods in Cary went great on past Saturday. They ordered 18 cakes and I sold all of them!
I am now officially in Raleigh, Cary and Chapel Hill stores and I'm waiting to receive an order from the Durham store.
Ellen sent me an email on how she really enjoyed the pound cake! Thank you for being such a great supporter of Sweet Cheeks! I pray that GOD blesses your business over and above!”

“...amazing...quick, sincere and on point
Greetings Gil,
My experience with Ethos 360 was amazing. They are quick, sincere and on point with the information. They took my basic words and turned it onto a professional business plan.
I really like the "on point" part. I had my plan reviewed by someone who teaches "how to write a business plan" he said it was outstanding. It was beyond his expectations! They also did a great job with the financials. I had it check by someone else and he too said it was in order.
I believe they will satisfy your needs beyond expectations as well. I hope my words of experience will assist you in making a sound decision. I wish you the Best of luck with your Amish Bakery and Gift Shop.”

Hey Mike, I am really impressed. I love the business plan, I could tell that you really customized it!!! I don't really understand how to read all of the graphs. They look good but I want to feel knowledgeable and confident going in when I meet with the SBA and the bankers at Chase. I don't want to be turned down because I wasn't prepared after all the hard work. Hey, look forward to conversing with you. Also I have another customer for you when we are through.”

Ethos 360 produces tangible business results without breaking the bank. Ethos 360 addresses the specific needs of my business on a personal level. Finding funding to start-up or to expand is one of the many critical questions that rarely receives a straight answer from most consulting firms, my mentor can find my answers based on our relationship.

“My mentor was with me every step of the way
When I was attempting to get my ducks in a row to start out on my own, there were many unanswered questions that I had difficulty finding the answers for. With not that many resources at my disposal, I thought I wouldn't be able to get the help I was looking for. Fortunately, Ethos 360 was able to provide the consulting that I found myself unable to work through on my own. Not only did I receive answers to the questions I had for "what next?" but my mentor was with me every step of the way to help me find answers I didn't even know I had questions for.”

I'd been working on my own as an independent contractor since as long as I can remember, getting advice along the way as I needed it to slowly grow my business over time. With Ethos 360, I was able to get the coaching and resources I needed for a reasonable rate that helped me collect myself and start focusing on the future of my business instead of stumbling onto the next dilemma.”
Will Wolff-Myren
“Mentoring that could help me focus my vision
Consulting services always seemed like something that wouldn't be affordable to me. I'd wanted to figure out how to make pipe dream projects a reality that could be profitable for my family and me, but I wasn't sure how to get the help I needed. With Ethos 360, not only did I find the one on one mentoring that could help me focus my vision, but also access to tools that I never thought I'd be able to afford.”
