SBDC Client Success Story - Jackson's Kare

The Story

Roxanne, a certified Legal Administrative Professional, has been in business since November 2015 providing form completion for college enrollment, court documents, and human resources. She came to the IEWBC needing assistance writing a business plan, preparing a marketing strategy, and tracking finances. She received business counseling, attended various workshops, and participated in IEWBC's It's Your Time Program.

"It was one of the best experiences and I wouldn’t be where I am today without assistance from the center."
Though she initially started her business, Jacksons Kare in 2015, she recently had her Grand Opening and ribbon cutting for her new office space, February 28, 2020, in Riverside, CA.

The Results

Despite COVID-19 closing down her office operations, she has been able to pivot into online services and serve over 70 clients, and secure 4 contracts between March and April. She has hired an administrative assistant, increased her community engagement and visibility by 150%, and increase her revenue by 55%. Roxanne credits IEWBC as the biggest reason why she stepped out on faith. IEWBC gave her the knowledge, creativity, and support needed for her to start her own business and remain open during the COVID pandemic.
