Richard Rose

I can help you start or manage a Brick & Mortar Retail Business or e-Commerce Store.  

As a former CEO, Retail Owner and currently a Commercial Landlord, ​I've been able to guide numerous entrepreneurs through the process of launching their own business - from developing business plans and financial projections to negotiating leases, marketing and sales.

“Richard is very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. And not intimidating, which is important to me, being new to retail.”   Laurie G.

“The last thing u need with a mentor is to walk away with a feeling that they tried to make u feel good...you want a knowledgeable person who forces u to think more comprehensively about your business ideas....but not one who does it in such a way that you are totally discouraged.  Richard was that person.”   Wilma G.

“Finding Richard was a stroke of good luck -- I could not have asked for a more perfect mentor to guide me through this.”   P. Ripley
