Take worry away from your customers

We've all got enough risk in our lives -- especially entrepreneurs. Keeping the cash coming in, serving customers, managing employees and running to the bank are just a few of the tasks a small business owner must juggle. "The last thing on an entrepreneur's mind should be their computer system," entrepreneur Adrian Feudale says.

Highly trained computer engineers Feudale and Derek Esposito operate Alltech Solutions Inc. (www.alltech-solutions.net, 1-888-3-ONSITE), which offers cost-effective, on-site computer service to the home and small business markets.

"These markets are generally ignored by computer service companies who tend to go after larger organizations with deep pockets," Feudale says.

"We got into this business when we discovered how other computer service companies under-serve and over-charge their customers," Esposito says. "We simply focus on delivering much better service and value to people."

COMPUTER CRASH



Many small and home-based business owners worry about losing their data due to a computer crash. Loaded with client files, beefy databases, artwork and mandatory accounting records, an entrepreneur's entire livelihood can depend on his computer.

To help small business owners sleep at night, Alltech offers an all-inclusive service program to make sure a client's computer runs trouble-free. "It's like an insurance policy against unplanned repair costs and computer downtime," Feudale says.

If you can remove or reduce the amount of risk in a person's life, chances are you've got a great business model. "People seek out comfort and assurances," Esposito says. "Try to remove some worry in their lives with your product or service."

In business since 1997, the pair have experienced first-hand what it takes to build a successful small business. They believe new entrepreneurs must stick to their goals and principles, even when the money runs tight. "You won't know the taste of success unless you have first experienced hardship," Feudale says.
