Small Business Consulting for Rising Queer and Women Entrepreneurs

Deepening the Scale provides consulting to queer and women-owned small businesses. We advise on and assist in the development and implementation of strategies, operations, and systems to better position small and newly forming companies for market entry. Small businesses have unique needs, and founders often have to wear many hats beyond their niche role. Having a business “bestie” who can jump in at several intervals is priceless. One of the first things we determine in a discovery call is what those needs are and what scope of work can be applied within your budget range. We work hard to remain affordable and flexible while helping you meet your growth goals. We believe in scaling deep. By providing resources and support to small business owners, we’re building and strengthening the community together.

Market Analysis

During a market analysis, we perform a series of analyses on the competition and the company’s own performance to identify gaps and opportunities. While this gives a business owner critical information for decision-making and for remaining differentiated in the market, it also helps a business owner gain a clearer picture of who they are, who they serve, and where they go from here. We’ll dig deep into the heart of your company’s identity and use that for positioning.

Management Strategy

Doing business is about about building relationships, including with your team, your vendors and suppliers, customers, and across your brand. Whether you’re new to managing a growing team, struggling to delegate tasks, are going through a challenging organizational change, or need to streamline vendor communications, utilizing the right strategy can ensure those relationships thrive. We’ll work together to create strategies that strengthen those bonds

Planning & Predictions

As we work together, we’ll begin to see a bigger picture and plan for fluctuating market environments, from surviving a winter to entering an adjacent or emerging market. Entrepreneurs take a big risk by investing in building a business so planning ahead is key. We’ll evaluate your books, track patterns in revenue, create budgets, and navigate growth and investment opportunities that speak to your values and follow the vision of your company.
