My current consulting business, S2C LLC, provides a modest income stream during summers, but it also keeps my small business management skills up to date. My small farm/market garden project typically operates at a loss because it is still in the infrastructure investment phase.
In total, I have started, owned, and operated five small, single-member limited liability companies (LLCs). I know how to keep clean, up-to-date books, file taxes, manage invoicing, and archive data for a small non-payroll business.
Apart from my own small companies, I have private sector experience that includes marketing, operations management, hospitality services, technical writing, and web design.
