XCapacity’s “COO for an Hour” Drives Small Business Growth

Small business owners gain access to new resource for growth, adding seasoned expertise to their roster, without adding overhead.
(Vienna, VA)— The number of small businesses and entrepreneurs continue to grow as the shape of the American business landscape changes.  For various reasons: work/life balance, economic downturn, living near aging parents and more, small businesses have grown dramatically over the past decade.  Currently 99% of private employer firms in the US are small businesses, all with the potential to grow and succeed…with access to the right resources.  
 
Xcapacity today released new service offerings, making seasoned COO expertise affordable, on an hourly basis, to small businesses via “COO for an Hour” services.  Many small businesses and entrepreneurs have a strong passion for their work, but don’t know how to run a business, which is why over a half million small businesses close each year.  That’s where Xcapacity steps in, seamlessly running the backend functions and helping small businesses and entrepreneurs make sound business and growth decisions.  
Xcapacity realized this underserved niche in consulting services and designed a suite of services dedicated to helping America’s small businesses thrive.  “COO for an Hour” includes the following innovative service lines for small businesses:
·        Small Business Guidance:  Affordable executive-level guidance available on a hourly basis, with no minimum requirement.  Extremely accessible experts get to know each small business and provide trusted counsel on a range of management topics.  They assist on a strategic or project-based level.
·        People Solutions:  As a business’ most important asset, it’s always important to attract and keep the right talent; but with a limited number of employees, it’s even more critical in small businesses as each employee has dramatically more influence.  Xcapacity delivers a full range of people services from organizational chart design to recruiting services and benefits vendor vetting to employee policy consultation and development and everything in between.
·        Quality Training:  Because training is so expensive, many small businesses are forced to rely on nationally-branded training programs that do not address their needs.  That’s why Xcapacity developed quality, dynamic, extensive training programs, geared toward small businesses.  These programs are affordable for small businesses and are custom-designed to meet the needs and challenges that small businesses face.
 
As a small business, Xcapacity is dedicated to helping other small businesses succeed.  “Many small businesses have amazing passion for their work, but lack the resources and desire to manage the backend of their business, therefore they become stalled and unable to operate efficiently past a certain point.  But I have found that with the right guidance and support, small businesses can hurdle those obstacles and grow their business to the next level.” says Xcapacity owner and founder Laura Champe Mitchell.  “Our small business clients have found that by partnering with us they gain more time to focus on their work that inspires them, they expand more quickly and they surpass many of the growing pains that many companies experience.  It’s our years of experience with small businesses, our attention to detail and how well we get to know our clients that gives us the insight and ability to help our clients so seamlessly.”
