Entrepreneurs in Columbus will soon have a helping hand navigating the sticking waters of opening a business. Ryan Schick is set to man the “small-business concierge,” within Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services. Pretty much he’s supposed to help the budding ideas become actual reality, which can be a tricky time for many startups. Some might have the vision without the knowhow when it comes to applying for permits and creating business models. “What we’re doing is taking a process that by-and-large has been disjointed and, from A-to-Z, lay out how to open a restaurant, how to open a day care, how to open a salon,” Schick told Columbus Business First. While he is the only one on the project right now, a site is scheduled to launch at the end of the month as an additionally resource for the aspiring business owner.
