Washington SBDC at Pullman - Pullman, WA

Brused B.

Aziz Makhani is an exemplary business advisor and human. He warmly and competently helped me through a very long, tedious business transfer. It has been two years since Brused Books officially became my business, and Aziz is still checking on me and jumps to help in any way he can. I can’t say enough good things about Aziz.

Another 5-star review for SBDC and Aziz Makhani! I have been working with Aziz for a few months now, trying to start up my consulting company, Mountaintop Device and Product Design, LLC. At no cost to my cash-strapped business, Aziz provides day-to-day, no-nonsense, unbiased advice - which is absolutely invaluable. He also seems to know everybody in the community, and mobilizes his many resources to help find suppliers, customers, and other professionals who can help. I recommend this service to everybody who could use it.

Aziz is a pleasure to work with! He's helped our company through his knowledge and understanding. I'm truly grateful for not only his knowledge and guidance, but also his genuine support of what we are building. As you come to get help here for your startup I'm confident they will be of great service to you!

Aziz, with the Small Business Development Center, is a champion for local businesses and a wealth of knowledge! As a new business owner, he has provided me with detailed "next" steps to pursue and consider, local contacts for managing my business, and has even promoted my services to potential clients. What I appreciate most is that he took the time to listen to me and what I want for my business and tailored his services to match my vision and timeline.

I would highly recommend the services offered by the SBDC. Aziz walked me through all of the steps necessary for registering and licensing my writing and editing business. He also arranged for me to meet with an attorney and a CPA so that I could determine the best structure for my business and understand the financial implications. This service has given me confidence to begin my business endeavors, and has provided me with ideas for how to move forwards as my small business grows

Aziz has been instrumental in building our business and helping us realize areas of growth. We have found the wisdom, guidance, and advice that we receive from the SBDC and Aziz absolutely invaluable.

We encourage any business owners, big and small, to take the time and work with the SBDC to improve your business.

Aziz Makhani is an amazing resource, I am so glad we met. He is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. I honestly recommend working with Aziz. He goes above and beyond, from being patient with startups then following through with everything thing he promises along the way. Aziz always shows up, and is willing to learn new things in order to be prepared. I appreciate the SBDC providing Aziz as a free adviser, I would have had to spend more than I had to pay a consultant for help. Those funds have been well spent on things such as the Cascadia CleanTech Accelerator, which help WHYgrene Inc. create a sustainable and efficient energy based currency. I can not thank Aziz enough for his time and energy.

I advise anyone starting, owning, operating, growing, closing or any other aspect of business to turn to the SBA for a resource. If you're lucky like me you will run across an advisor as great as Aziz.Makhani. Wow, what a much needed mentor is he!! From day one he has given me the right advice, connected me with the right people and broadened my resource pool tremendously. Starting a business is risky, scary, tiring, confusing and many more things but having Aziz always looking out for me has made the experience much easier in so many ways. Thanks SBA and thanks Aziz!
