ABOUT US

Richard Assists is a team of strategic thinkers, experienced C-Level professionals, researchers, and business facilitators. Think of them as an extension of YOU.

AND WHO ARE YOU?

You’re a business owner. An entrepreneur. A Fortune 500 CEO. The owner of a Mom & Pop company. The brain behind a startup. The head of a firm looking to sunset. You’re a professional.

No matter the industry or situation, you aren’t looking for someone to tell you how to run your business. You’ve got that covered. You simply need someone you can rely on and trust to offer you a fresh perspective and support.

You’ve been through coaches. You’ve tried consultants. You’ve hired advisors. You’re still left with the simple answer—no one knows your business better than you. Richard Assists is different.

Richard Assists is a partner. We help you figure out (and prioritize) the next steps on your business journey. We don’t tell you what to do, we offer solutions to your problems and let you choose the best direction.

TRUST OUR EXPERIENCE

At the core, we’re a group of qualified business directors (with over 80 years combined C-level experience). Having established, owned, and operated 15+ different companies in over 125 lines of trade, we understand, because we’ve "been there-done that".

We’re here to assist and guide business owners by helping them identify, prioritize, attack, and resolve problems and issues. And more important, take advantage of opportunities.

We offer one-on-one direct assistance to the business owner or key contact. You will be matched to a partner aligned with the needs of your situation and industry. Each of the Richard Assists Directors have experience with creating, building, or running a successful business. They offer real-world insight from the trenches. They’re ready to help with short-term project management and business expertise.
