OAKLAND, Md. - eTradeWire -- Startup consulting company Strategic Business Optimization (SBO), founded by Dr. Okera Jenkins, has announced an extension of its Starter Package discounted rate through January 31, 2026, to help aspiring and current business owners navigate today's challenging economy.

Recognizing the financial strain many entrepreneurs face, Dr. Jenkins remains committed to providing affordable, high-quality business consulting services. "With so much economic uncertainty, it's crucial for new and aspiring business owners to have the confidence to start and operate their companies without breaking the bank," says Dr. Jenkins. "This extension ensures they have access to the same strategic guidance and resources that larger companies use to succeed."

The Starter Package includes:

• An initial, free 30-minute consultation call
• A customized business plan covering organizational, financial, marketing, logistics, operational, and production components
• Market research and industry trend analysis
• SWOT analysis
• SMART goals (up to five)
• Executive summary
• 1 hour consultation call + 30-minute follow up call

The goal of this plan is to equip entrepreneurs with the tools and structure needed to build sustainable, scalable businesses while avoiding common startup pitfalls. Many small businesses start with excitement and vision, but without a structured strategy, they risk overlooking critical steps that affect long-term success. In addition to the promotional rate, flexible payment options are also available on top of the discount.
