(Few cus On ... Marcia Domian Stiff Writer If you are the owner of a business large or small you know what it takes to keep things running smoothly. You have to pay attention to the product or service end of your business and all those routine office details can be overwhelming. If you wear all the hats in your office you may not be operating as efficiently as you could. Feel as if you need HELP? Counterpart, Inc. Business Support Center could be just what you need. Owner, Nonna St. Romain can provide all the office support you might need and all you have to do is pick up the tele phone. “My purpose is to provide the services that an office staff would, but without the overhead,” said St. Romain. “Counterpart is for businesses whose staff requirements fluctuate or for those who may have to spend most of their time on the road building a new business.” Studies show that the average business owner may spend 40% of their time actually developing their business. The remain ing 60% of the workday is spent tracking payables and receiv ables, updating marketing strategies, ordering supplies and an endless stream of paperwork. It can be very difficult to stay focused, efficient and profitable. W Counterpart. Inc.

Forsyth ((< hi iit Y News » )n:i> Hum. ■II r.i • i < l'M\ • St. Romain knows dial Forsyth is a dynamic place to nurture the small business concept but a business sometimes needs time to grow before justifying additional staff. This is where Counterpart fits best. With a background in business management and accounting, she knew that providing business services would fill a need in the community and serve to fulfill her own life-long dream of owning her own business. Counterpart, Inc. is a business that has taken on a life of its own. Fourteen months ago, the plan was to fill the basic needs of the business community and carefully monitor where the growth potential appeared. St Romain believes a business will take you where it needs to go and you can’t force specific aspects, just because you might think it’s a good idea. Direct mail service is one area that has grown dramatically. There is a big demand for direct mail services in the county. Coordinated with a marketing and advertising plan, many busi ness owners can target a certain market Counterpart can take an idea, design the piece, print it and mail it for you. When time is money to a business, the added convenience of one place to accomplish a project start to finish, makes good business sense. Medical and legal transcription makes up a large portion of Counterpart’s work. With the spurt of growth dial Forsyth County is experiencing, several new doctors and lawyers are opening satellite offices in the area and are delighted they can easily find s 2s°° to s so°° Off on m ’95 Specialized and GT Bikes \*J (While Supplies Last) ' 20 Tri-County Plaza (Acro*» from Sawnee EMC) Cumming, QA. 30130 404-886-1175 800-458-BIKE /jxi 844 8777 Additions Sunrooms • Baths • Kitchens Basements • New Construction Residential & Commercial General Contractor 107 West Courthouse Square GA 30130 RHCHfIN /HOPPE | V Here’s A Tasteful Holiday Idea... • Gift Baskets • Unique Cooking Accessories • Master Bakeware C • Entertaining Ensembles • Gourmet Spices, Coffees & Teas PuWxStajpping Center SALES • GUARANTEED INSTALLATIONS RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL CARPET VINYL | HARDWOOD WALLCOVERINGS ] PAINT I I WINDOW TREATMENTS ALL MAJOR BRANDSAT FACTORY DIRECT PRICES sssl mmmiMimsHOPATHOiiE □ CUSTOM DRAPERIES □ CABIENTS ' othwhoumjYypotNnwrr □ BLINDS □SPECIALTY RUGS □ WALLCOVERINGS □ CERAMIC TILE ffi&BTAlSltB □ UPHOLSTERY □ COUNTER TOPS n PAINT □ MARBLE i CORIAN 2393 CANTON HWY W. support services like those at Counterpart St Romain has an extensive network of professional resources to help her support die community.
