Fresh Start

With 2023 just few hours away, small business owners are looking ahead.
Thinking how to solve ongoing problems:
Inflation, supply chain issues, anticipated recession, and labor shortages.

Given these, small business owners’ top three priorities are:

1. Cash Flow
They know the importance of cash flow.
It’s what will keep the business afloat should we have an economic downturn.

2. Employees
They are an important asset for the small business.
Its backbone.
That’s why many business owners are offering higher wages and training.

3. Technology
We all know technology will become even more important.
Smart business owners look at technology as a tool.
A tool that will help them achieve their goals.

Fresh start.

Mariana Fieraru, an Eastern European transplant, fell in love with her new home shortly after landing in New York. She "discovered" pizza! Years later she still loves pizza. And so do her two feathered-kids, Sunny and Flipper

Mariana worked on both, the east and the west coast.
Big or small, each project she worked on helped define the importance of gaining and sustaining a competitive edge in an increasingly complex business environment.

Business know-how, love of teaching and writing – all combined in 2006 to form OBI.
