“Neil was instrumental in making my new business venture an official corporate entity. Within days of our first meeting, I had all of my incorporation documents and corresponding tax information from Neil. In addition to his incorporation services, Neil also provided start-up consulting advice including how to effectively market my business and stay on track. I would heartily recommend Neil's services to other budding entrepreneurs."
Dominik Blanchet
Owner/Member, Inspired Improvement, LLC.
"Most of the process of actually starting a business was not something I knew how to do. There is a certain fear that one has a hard time explaining when wanting to do something, but you're not sure where to begin. What I found when working with Neil at The Courage Group are things that I know for a fact I couldn't find with any type of legal counsel. He knows the feelings of starting something from scratch, he's been through it and much more. Through an awesome system, he breaks things down to the important basics. In other words, he defines what to focus on and explains why. I can say with 100% certainty that if my business were to ever shut down and close, I would never ever regret working with Neil and The Courage Group. Some of the best client service and services that I have ever had the privilege of working with. So, choose The Courage Group for a smooth start-up process!"

Neil creates immediate, sustainable shareholder value that will provide the lifelong foundation and protection of your business and intellectual property. Literally, within hours, Neil can transform, organize, formalize and institutionalize your business into a bulletproof, registered, entity with a professional, legal presence that ordinarily, would take a team of lawyers and accountant’s weeks to deliver. His tenacious passion is inspiring and represents a minimum ten-fold return on investment.”
Dan Podgorski
Co-Founder Pinnacle Builders Group, INC.
“Thanks for doing all of the leg work in getting our construction company incorporated. Your service is a real time and headache saver. We don't know of anywhere else we could have gone to get all of the legal documentation processed in less than 1 week. I don't know why anyone would want to do any of that stuff themselves if they can hire you to do the grunt work. Anyway, everything is going very well for us. With your help we've been in business for less than a month, we have several additions lined up, finished one and we just bought some land to build a spec home. I'd offer you good luck but with a superb service product like yours, you don't need any.”
Michael Brown
Founder/President, The Engineering Solutions Group, Inc.
“Neil has the ability and knowledge of what must be done and who needs to be involved in starting a new company fast and without error. For a person such as myself with no time to research or deal with city and state bureaucracy, his company is invaluable.”

“Neil, thank you for your diligence and hard work in putting together my PR Package. You've taken an area that I thought was out of reach and showed me how to position my services for maximum interest. The PR Package you put together has saved me both time and money. Everyone that has seen my news release has given it rave reviews! I am looking forward to putting the PR wheels into motion and continuing the momentum that you started.”
Vito Claps

“Working with The Courage Group was an absolute pleasure. It was great to know all of the pricing upfront and their services exceeded my expectations. Everything was completed on time and done correctly. In addition, I received some outstanding information that helped me with my company. I researched all of the options available both online and off for incorporation services and none of them can hold a stick to The Courage Group. I wish other things were as simple and complete.”
Sal Mondelli
Founder/President, Advisors by Mondelli, LLC
"My experience with Neil and The Courage Group was top notch. Neil is expert at start-up consulting, and with his help, I sped through the process of registering my new company and laying the foundation for it. It was great to have him there to help me navigate through this process. Plus, he was a joy to work with!" “I am extremely pleased with The Courage Group, and the services that Neil Anderson provides for an entrepreneur starting their own business. His approach begins with going to the heart of why someone wants to be in business for themselves, and he delivers a set of recommendations based on his understanding of your requirements. Neil guides you through all the considerations, applies his marketing expertise, and completes all the required paperwork. I highly recommend using The Courage Group for business set up and marketing needs."
Carol Martinson
Owner/Member, Accentus-Ludus, LLC.
“Not only has Neil helped me set up two different companies - one an S Corp, the other an LLC, I have referred him to many others who report that he has provided great service. Love the fact that he goes beyond just the basics of getting your company legally set up and provides great small business coaching and support. I would recommend The Courage Group to anyone considering being an entrepreneur.”
Erik Tweten
President, Carezza Studios Inc.
“Neil, just a note to thank you for the work The Courage Group did in getting Carezza Studios Inc. incorporated. I would highly recommend you to any business that is seeking to incorporate. You saved us the hassle, time and the expense of having to find an attorney or someone to do this confusing and tedious work for us. We had asked our accountant if he could incorporate us and he said sure. After looking at your package and prices and asking our accountant if he offered the same services he told us that The Courage Group was a much better value. With your service and the short amount of time it took you to process everything there was no comparison. It was a pleasure working with you and I know we will be using your services in the future.”
Jenny Dombroski
Founder/President, Evlove Intimates, Inc.
"Neil, I just wanted to thank you for all your help with the incorporating process of my business. I can’t even begin to convey what a relief it was to put all those important legal documents in your hands. The amount of time I would have had to invest in order to understand what paperwork needed to be filed, how to fill it out correctly, and who to enlist in order to get it processed would have been insurmountable. Time is an extremely valuable commodity when you're starting a business every moment counts! I will never know the hassles that others must have gone through to legalize their business, nor will I know the financial expense one must incur, for that I am grateful. I'm also grateful for the additional advice and consultation the Courage Group provides as I take this giant leap into small business ownership. You have been a guiding force through the entire process and made at least one part of getting this business up and running a whole lot easier. The Courage Group was also instrumental in helping me develop a solid and air-tight business plan. I had read many other business plan examples and was a little nervous to approach it on my own. Neil's step-by-step methodology and fantastic writing examples made so much more sense. With his help, I was able to create a business story, one that any investor or banker could follow in order to see the potential and vision for my business. I received so many compliments that eventually led to a small business loan to get my company up and running. Many thanks!”

Terry Shaughnessy
President, The Makini Group, Inc.
“Where do I start? I wanted to take time to personally thank you for the outstanding work you performed on behalf of the Makini Group. Though hardly a novice at business acquisition and business startup, it always amazes me the amount of paperwork and government forms that must be completed before you can open your doors. You made this entire complex process painless, maybe even easy. You may not realize this but I quickly looked at you and your company as an asset to my business, much as I do our accountant, lawyer and banker. The organization of your plan and process gave me peace of mind that all the various incorporation steps would be covered and completed in time for us to close on our acquisition. How do I put a value on that? My time was spent thinking about the business plan and improving the value of our business as opposed to interpreting government forms. Thanks again for helping make my dream a reality! I look forward to working with you again soon.”
Shalini Kumar/Arvind Perumal
Founders/Owners, Arsha Consulting Services Inc.
“When we first decided to start our own business, we had no idea where to begin. After a fewinitial consultations with attorneys, we were convinced that incorporation was going to be a long and expensive process, not to mention confusing. Fortunately, we were introduced to The Courage Group by a friend who assured us that the process would not only be simple and straightforward but also, the advice we get would be insightful and honest. We were not misled. The Courage Group provided us with insightful advice on making the right decisions, the steps required for incorporation and consultation on setting up and running our business. Needless to say, we were impressed and relieved, when the burden of uncertainty was lifted off our shoulders and transformed into a streamlined, well-structured process. Thank you, Neil, for your systematic presentation, concern and expeditious execution of all that was required to set up our business. Every step along the way was handled meticulously and presented to us in an organized and concise manner. Thank you for your invaluable guidance and for the incredible resource of materials you provided us to help get us started in the right direction. Most of all, thank you for your encouragement and motivation.”
Jack Harris
Founder/President, The Beowulf Group, Inc.
“Neil and The Courage Group’s services were invaluable to me as a way to quickly get off the ground once I decided to build my own business. By letting Neil take care of the paperwork and some of the background research I was able to focus on my first client proposal and the creation of key marketing materials in those critical first weeks. Neil’s values go way beyond simple incorporation services however. His templates, outlines, and background readings have saved me countless hours of research and marketing development as I transition from a corporate career to entrepreneurship. Neil’s positive can-do attitude and his unbridled enthusiasm and encouragement helped make this start go much more smoothly than I had anticipated.”

His positive customer service is so invigorating and engaging. His focus is on YOU the customer. He is always looking out for your good as your business progresses. Neil also is working with me on the PR service and his opportunity radar is always up and searching for my industry and business's opportunities for PR. His thorough follow-up and questioning of the client drove me to realize we were a team----not a service "checkmark". He indulges himself and provides a wide array of experience, expertise, and wisdom. Partner with Neil and your business has a world champion in your corner!!!”
Denis W. Day

“The Courage Group did an exceptional job of helping us improve our existing business plan that we needed for raising expansion capital. They did a comprehensive and objective review and analysis of our plans content and structure, on time and for a reasonable fee. Plus, they translated the finished plan into a concise and persuasive investor presentation. They know what bankers and investors are looking for in business plans and how they want to see it. Neil produces results and took the time to understand our business, our needs and became the finest consultant we ever retained.”
Janel Haugarth
Owner/Member, Highpoint Expertise, LLC.
“I had recently retired when an opportunity to work with a company as a consultant presented itself. I had done none of the legwork to know what I needed to do to get my company started. A friend recommended the Courage Group. Neil met with me right away and knew exactly how to help me get my company named, organized and ready to do business. He was knowledgeable, wasted no time and took care of several things for me so that I could begin work with my client. He is definitely one that goes above and beyond. He provided lots of information that I still utilize today as well as great advice on what to expect over time. He was amazing. I highly recommend his services to anyone beginning their own business.”
Susan Reed

“I was serendipitously introduced to The Courage Group three days after receiving disappointing news that I would not be offered the position of Regional Vice President in my organization. Neil Anderson, President/Founder of The Courage Group, asked me what I really would like to be doing. It was that simple question that birthed the idea of my company, I’m BACK Now, Inc. It took me three months to find the courage to take the next step. But when I did, The Courage Group incorporated my business within 24 hours and coached me through the steps of putting together a stellar business plan. Thank you, Neil. Thank you, The Courage Group.”
Terry Vance

His services including coaching, taking care of legal issues (incorporation, etc.), providing all of the materials critical to starting a new business, etc. were on target. He got me off to an excellent start in Jan 2005 and I was confident that all of the bases were covered for what I needed. The business has been a great success. I would recommend his services to anyone without hesitation."
John Manson
Founder/President, John Manson & Associates
"I was extremely pleased with the services offered by the Courage Group when I incorporated my new business earlier this year. I was given the Courage Group's name through a referral and they came as a Godsend during a time of need. They were able to put together a complete, concise and well-executed program for getting my business started. Best of all, they probably saved me hundreds of dollars that might have been needlessly spent with an expensive legal firm. I would highly recommend The Courage Group to any of my business peers and associates."

Stephen Fairley, M.A., RCC
Founder & President, Today’s Leadership Coaching, Inc.
“The Courage Group took the hassle and uncertainty out of formally organizing my new business. I was able to incorporate my company in one meeting, no running around to different government offices, which saved me valuable time. Time that I better used to focus on other aspects of my new business. Not only did I receive my articles of incorporation quickly, The Courage Group processed and expedited the other mandatory Federal, State and local county forms and paperwork as a part of their service. The best part--it cost less than half of what an attorney or CPA would have charged me! Why waste your time and money going to someone else who will charge you twice as much and still make you do a lot of the legwork. As a small business owner, I know I can't afford to."
Richard Kenny, SPHR, CSSR, ACIR, CDR, CIR

Because of The Courage Group and Neil’s support I was able to incorporate my business quickly, correctly and legally. For the first investment in my new company, this was money well spent."

“Entrepreneurs like us, do not have the time to search for the right attorney, accountant, cruise the Internet to help make every business decision like whether to incorporate or not. Finding someone who can impartially help you understand the process of incorporating and then expedite the process is of tremendous value to someone who is trying to grow a business. I did not have the time or financial resources to consult an attorney or accountant to even question the benefits of incorporating my business, refresh skincare.

Their help and guidance, as write my business plan, is also providing me a strategic alliance and sounding board that will propel me to my future success.

I took their advice on getting a company LOGO setup and business cards professionally done to create a good image for my company. The marketing and sales emphasis is excellent advice and I plan to work hard on following the tips. I highly recommend The Courage Group to new entrepreneurs that have a dream and need the push to get a business started.”
Mr. Alan B. Kerns
President, Akerns Inc.
“Once the negotiations to purchase a Mr. Handyman franchise were completed, the process of becoming a franchise owner entered a compressed time-frame which required a disciplined approach to completing milestones. Neil Anderson of the Courage Group provided me with a basic incorporation package just when I needed an experienced and effective process in this time-frame. The quick turnaround of forms allowed me to assemble the necessary financing and complete franchising documents needed to meet my commitments to the franchise company. In retrospect, Neil’s work allowed other business tasks to flow seamlessly from one milestone to another. Additionally, Neil provided a “personal touch’ to the process; he was willing to accommodate my schedule, to expend the extra time to answer questions, and to clarify the incorporation process. Even in the short time we worked as a team, he provided good advice for an entrepreneur in startup mode and a nurturing atmosphere for ideas for the new business person. “
Yasmina Phillips
President/Founder, Afterglow Tea Room, Inc.
“Neil, I am so deeply grateful to you and the Courage Group, Inc. for making my business start-up phase so easy! I realized that my business should be incorporated and sought to take advantage of your 24-hour incorporating service. In part, the process entailed filing business applications that were fully explained and timely submitted. Subsequent to filing, official documents were returned, reviewed and gifted to me in beautiful professional portfolios for my safe keeping. To have such important “ducks in a row” early on is a wonderful boost to a new entrepreneur’s esteem and self-confidence. I look forward to the Courage Group, Inc. assisting me in writing my business plan. Thanks to you again, Neil.”
John Pejchl
Founder/President, The MarDon Group, Inc.
“Thanks Neil for getting my business incorporated as quickly as you did. When I told people I hired someone to help me get incorporated and mentioned the cost they thought that it was too expensive. After talking with a couple of people who used an attorney to incorporate and finding out it took them about 6 weeks and they still did not have the process complete I realized that what Neil does is nothing short of a miracle. The cost also is saved by tax savings in 4-6 weeks alone. I told my friend it doesn't cost it saves to have an expert do the paperwork for you and Neil, you are an expert at getting business's incorporated.”
Julie Trakh
Founder/President, Elite Organizing, Inc.
“Thanks for all your help in incorporating my business. Your professionalism and knowledge curtailed helped me with the direction that I chose for my company. Without your dedication and expertise, I’m sure it would have taken me longer to get where I am today. It must give you such a gratifying feeling to know you have helped so many people rise to the top. You truly demonstrate a strong desire and passion for entrepreneurs and what you do and it clearly shines through. Also, you also manage to keep all of your clients informed via emails on what's going on in the entrepreneurial world while offering great tips.”

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We have heard the phrase many times and it is true about ninety-nine percent of the time. Neil Anderson, of The Courage Group, is the exception to the rule. Neil's overwhelming enthusiasm can sometimes be mistaken for aggressiveness, but if he says he is going to do something within a specific timeframe, you had better be prepared because he will deliver on his promise. Neil displayed a genuine interest in our company and impressed us with his dedication and timely service. We feel we got a tremendous value for the services provided.

Paddy Noonan

“Neil Anderson helped me set up my company/corporation six years ago. I would not have been able to do it so efficiently without Neil's assistance. Even though that was six years ago, I still periodically contact Neil with business questions. Neil also connected me with other professionals I needed to know. For example, I am still using the attorney that Neil introduced me to over six years ago. If you are looking to set up a company and/or get it going, then Neil Anderson, with The Courage Group, Inc. is the way to go! If you want to be confident that you are getting experienced professional services at a good value, then my one and only recommendation to you would be The Courage Group, Inc.”
Kris Vihovde

Neil made the whole process incredibly easy and pain-free. He has the expertise to easily navigate the official government channels, and is so organized that he was about to walk me through the incorporation paperwork in less than an hour. And when my incorporation papers arrived with a typo in the company name, all I had to do was call Neil and he got it fixed immediately. By having Neil handle this part of the start-up process, I was able to focus my time on developing my consulting offering and contacting potential clients.”

"I expected incorporating my own business would take a few months to accomplish. Then I found The Courage Group. Service alternatives, deliverables, and pricing is refreshingly clear, Neil's process is efficient, and his focus on best practices is great. I was incorporated in a day, and with Neil's guidance, the basics could be up and running within in a few days. Neil is extremely generous in sharing good information, actual experiences, and a wealth of practical guidance, focused on what is most useful to me, to help me get my business off to a good start. I've been able to keep a steady focus on my business plan and am already seeing a 'bump' in interest and engagement, thanks to Neil and The Courage Group. Even more, Neil gives new business owners a great role model, and there isn't a day that goes by without reaching into my startup package for information, clarification, advice, or support. Thank you!"

"As someone who has been involved with several successful IPOs, I know the value of professional service providers. Not only have I had the opportunity of bringing Neil into my organization as a keynote speaker but I have also taken advantage of his services. Problem: Need quick accurate incorporation of Illinois Company as I was leaving country in two days Solution: Call Neil and explain my situation. Result: Sent documents for me to sign and return to Neal. He faxed me back completed documentation including articles of incorporation. I was able to leave country with a new company in place earning sales and profits. What an honor to be able to recommend Neal and his company to all who need a professional service provider.”

“The Courage Group, Inc., and it founder, Neil Anderson, incorporated my business ahead of the agreed upon schedule. My business was incorporated in 24 hours and for the original price quote, despite an increase in state fees. They saved me valuable time and money by incorporating my business so quickly. I then used my incorporation status to open up my first business account within a week. Equally as important, The Courage Group gave me very valuable start-up advice on how to build and grow my new company. Mr. Anderson also gave me back issues of The Courage Group client newsletters that I found very helpful.

“Thanks Neil for getting my business incorporated as quickly as you did. When I told people I hired someone to help me get incorporated and mentioned the cost they thought that it was too expensive. After talking with a couple of people who used an attorney to incorporate and finding out it took them about 6 weeks and they still did not have the process complete I realized that what Neil does is nothing short of a miracle. The cost also is saved by tax savings in 4-6 weeks alone. I told my friend it doesn't cost it saves to have an expert do the paperwork for you and Neil, you are an expert at getting business's incorporated.”

“Once the negotiations to purchase a Mr. Handyman franchise were completed, the process of becoming a franchise owner entered a compressed time-frame which required a disciplined approach to completing milestones. Neil Anderson of the Courage Group provided me with a basic incorporation package just when I needed an experienced and effective process in this time-frame. The quick turnaround of forms allowed me to assemble the necessary financing and complete franchising documents needed to meet my commitments to the franchise company. In retrospect, Neil’s work allowed other business tasks to flow seamlessly from one milestone to another. Additionally, Neil provided a “personal touch’ to the process; he was willing to accommodate my schedule, to expend the extra time to answer questions, and to clarify the incorporation process. Even in the short time we worked as a team, he provided good advice for an entrepreneur in startup mode and a nurturing atmosphere for ideas for the new business person. “
