Small business owners with established businesses ($1M-$20M) lack access to qualified business advisors who have real operational experience and provide consistent, holistic support.

Free or low-cost resources like SCORE and SBA are designed for early-stage businesses, not for $1M-$20M owners; many self-proclaimed advisors lack real business ownership experience or focus only on one area.
