Our Next Us Childcare has grown alongside the families it serves, but with that growth came new demands behind the scenes.

As enrollment increased, so did the need to strengthen daily operations, support staff, and maintain the quality their families rely on.

Through BBIF’s business advisory programs, including CEO Roundtables and consulting, they focused on building stronger hiring practices, improving staff support, and creating more consistent operations.

With that structure in place, they’re better positioned to keep growing while continuing to serve their community with care.

If you’re working through similar challenges in your business, we’re bringing these conversations to our upcoming Money Moves Summit in June.

Divicious Deli’s second location brought in customers right away.
What came with it was more complexity; costs, staffing, and managing two locations at once.

Through BBIF’s business advisory program, they took a closer look at how the business was performing.

That meant reviewing financials regularly, understanding where costs were adding up, and making adjustments across pricing, menu items, and staffing.

With that in place, decisions became clearer, and easier to act on.

Sometimes, having the space to step back and understand what’s happening behind the scenes can make all the difference.
