We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrea England and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Andrea, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was to be able to provide support to entrepreneurs who was great at their craft, but did not have time to properly ensure their internal business infrastructure was developed. Often times, we are too busy building the external business. We want to make sure that what we show the world is perfect. However, so much time is spent perfecting the craft, that the internal aspect of the business is not organized. AE Business Consulting assist aspiring and current entrepreneurs with business start up, business growth, business branding, business management and much more. Our services are unique because we offer al la carte services as well as bundle packages for short or long time business initiatives. This takes the pressure off owners and we ensure their business is in good standing, financially organized, staff assistance, vendor assistance and much more.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

Andrea grew up believing that you can do anything, as long as you put your mind to it and are dedicated and motivated. She did just that. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Andrea was destined to become an entrepreneur and did so at 19 years old by managing a very successful local clothing store.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take my best friend to eat, drink and hangout at Noir, shopping at several boutiques such as Ouftur, Royal Rags Brand, Huey Brand, Strut, Whishful Looks and more. Also, we would stop at Unitz by Jaz for stylish hair.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout all of my clients. They encourage me to be the best version of me. Being the best version of me entails being a full time entrepreneur to assist them with their day-to-day business needs.
