Read these steps to help to small business advisor.

1)    Look for an advisor who’s managed a small business:

Small businesses are a different animal than large corporations. Find a small business Advisor that understands the special challenges of small business, including recruiting and retaining employees, capital funding, product marketing, and keeping up with technology. Additionally, target an advisor who had success with your biggest business challenge. For instance, if your main roadblock is distribution, target an advisor who is a distribution channels expert.
