 Before consulting with Linda, the desires of my heart to start a 501(c)(3) was a dream that I talked about for years, but I was intimidated by my lack of knowledge in how to proceed. Linda is not only the driving force behind Business Initiatives & Consultants, but she is gifted in encouraging others to take action in pursuing their dreams. With Linda, the mountain became a plain, and fear was replaced with confidence. I recommend her competitive priced services to anyone who is intimidated by all the details of starting a business. Thank you Linda for making Seek and Find Yourself, Inc. a reality! Margaret Klutts, Founder Seek and Find Yourself, Inc.

 As I was wanting to start a nonprofit organization I did my research and was a little discouraged with the pricing, and my knowledge of even starting one, how would I begin writing grants and filling them out. I was led to Linda Cowels and I couldn’t have done it without her. Her program has led me to start my nonprofit here in Central Florida from learning all the necessary paperwork, grant writing, ideas, etc. I can’t wait to show the community what I have to offer, all thanks to Ms. Linda and her team. I recommend anyone and everyone that wants to start a nonprofit to go to Ms. Linda. Aaron Stevenson CEO/FOUNDER Giving’s Opportunity, Inc.

 My name is Maureen Osborne, the owner of Favor Hair Salon LLC. I would like to give a short testimony of how Business Initiatives helped me. I was so grateful to meet Miss Linda Cowels at the time when God placed it on my heart to open a beauty salon, where women will be shown the favor of God, and be able to have their hair done in a godly environment, where the presence of the Lord will saturate them. Miss Linda Cowels helped me search out the name of the saloon, to make sure it was available and also complete all the paperwork with the city and the state. She also helped me get my EIN number and all the paperwork pertaining to opening up my business. Every single year, she checks to make sure that my paperwork is filed on time and she also does the filing for me. I am so grateful to her and her business knowledge for all she has done for me and others. Keep up the great work, Miss Linda. God bless you.
