What We Do (and don’t do)

Spice MBS provides your business with knowledge-based advice designed to improve your business results.
We are your strategic partner, bringing no bias and no politics. Only the desire to help your business be all that it can be. We do not do advertising, PR, graphic design, and the like. This means our recommendations are not tied to services that generate revenue for us. If you need these services, we will help you seek out and hire the best resources for your needs.

How We Do It

We start with an in-depth meeting to explore your situation and needs. If we decide to go forward, we will prepare a plan of action, in phases, with budgets attached. After presentation of this plan, you decide whether to proceed and how engaged you want Spice MBS to be.
Here is how a project might flow. This will be adapted to each client depending upon information currently available, existing resources, specific objectives, etc.
