Tina Williams is a Force in the Entrepreneurial Community. There are many important aspects of being an entrepreneur and building a profitable business. The competency of the management team, the product or service being offered, executing the business model, and marketing all contribute to the overall success of the business. However, none of that matters if there is no capital to get it off the ground.
Ask any entrepreneur you meet, and they will tell you, funding and cash flow is the lifeblood of their business. Tina Williams, Founder & COO of QT Business Solutions, stands by that belief. As a former Personal Banker with J.P. Morgan Chase and Fifth Third Bank, Tina knows all too well how important it is for small businesses to have continuous access to capital. Therefore, she started QT Business Solutions.
Founded in Detroit in 2001, QT Business Solutions was created to provide business education and technical assistance services to entrepreneurs in need of financing. During her time in the banking industry she noticed that most entrepreneurs who applied for financing were unprepared. Often, they had no business plans and many of them did not fully understand the banks’ approval criteria for business financing. This resulted in many of them being denied for a business loan. Tina started QT Business Solutions to solve that problem.
QT Business Solutions has grown largely by word-of-mouth, because of Tina’s commitment to ensuring entrepreneurs are well-prepared to go after financing before they ever sit down and talk to a loan officer or investor.
Many of the Metro Detroit area’s well-known entrepreneurs have been clients of QT Business Solutions. So many of the businesses she has worked with have been able to successfully obtain capital and launch with Tina’s help. They have also become household names the Metro Detroit area. Just to name a few, Tijuana’s Mexican Kitchen was able to obtain $138,000, Your Emerging Space $450,000, Little Big World Paint & Play Gallery + $60,000 and thousands more.
