We Start With Your Questions
 When Starting - Your concept
could revolutionize an industry, but how might you commercialize it? You want to incorporate,
but unsure which best meets your long term needs, an S Corp.,
a C Corp., or a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC)? Is it better to start your business by contracting
out your services, asking for seed capital from friends & family, selling equity to investors,
and/or bartering with strategic partners?
While Growing - Can your bottom line
increase faster by staying independent or by joining with others?
Should you outsource or build in-house? What's the best way to market your product or service? Should you
announce your new product before completing development, or wait until every detail is proven?
Medical and Biotech Developments, Inc. can help you answer these questions on the road to
entrepreneurial success.

Company for upper level executives. When requested by hi-level managers being layoff,
entrepreneurial career plans were explored.

Berkeley Extension. The class helped people to decide if consulting was a good opportunity,
how one would get started, self marketing, expanding a business, and optimizing consulting.
