So what does a Business Consultant do?  First and foremost, a Business Consultant gets to know and understand your business.  As the business owner, you know more about your business than anyone else.  For this reason, a good business consultant will take the time to learn from you, your department heads and key employees what the ins and outs of your business entails.  It is only until complete understanding of your business that a Business Consultant can begin to help you.
