ABOUT WORLDWIDE LOCAL CONNECT INC.Startup and Small Business Hub & Network
**About Us**
The WWLC team brings over 100 years of collective experience, spanning roles in major multinational corporations as well as small businesses and startups. Unlike many consultants who simply provide a report and an invoice, we collaborate with you throughout every stage of your business's development and growth, working closely alongside you. Having faced similar challenges ourselves, we are equipped to help you manage transitions and expansion while steering clear of costly pitfalls.
**Founders**
The trio of founders at WWLC—Peter Dragone (Co-Founder of Keurig Inc.), Hans van Putten (Former Executive at Gillette), and Marc Slafsky (Insurance Specialist at Salem Five)—has amassed a diverse and valuable skill set.
**Our Expertise, Services, and Skills**
Our expertise encompasses various areas, including but not limited to financial management, financial modeling, bookkeeping, and budgeting. We also offer services in business planning, web design, digital marketing (including SEO, email marketing, social media marketing, and PPC advertising), along with specialized knowledge in Shopify e-commerce and Amazon Seller Central for brand registration and product launches. Every business, regardless of its stage, requires a disaster plan and insurance for unexpected challenges. Our team boasts over 30 years of experience in providing business insurance for substantial amounts.
**Methodology**
At WWLC, we partner with you to identify your needs, gather extensive information, assess your current situation, and formulate a strategy tailored to your requirements. Our established methodology includes several steps: an initial introductory meeting, a follow-up detailed discussion, information collection, assessment and analysis, gap analysis to identify any missing information, determining deliverables, and creating a Statement of Work (SOW) along with a quote. We emphasize project management and ongoing implementation throughout the process.
WWLC collaborates with a skilled team of specialists to deliver a comprehensive range of business services, including legal, tax, accounting, social media, and digital marketing, as required.
