Small is a key word in the vocabulary of Mainstreet Business Solutions.
It's a small business with a small workforce focused on, in no small way,
helping solve problems for other small businesses.Solve IT problems that is. The Farmington
Hills-based company works on tech consulting for businesses setting up IT
resources. That means when a small business needs to set a server, it calls
Mainstreet. If it needs software implemented or an IT project managed,
Mainstreet makes that happen. The idea is to free up small business owners to
do what they do best and leave all of the technical stuff to Mainstreet.
"There needs to be a high quality
resource for small businesses to get the information they need," says
Terry Oplinger, Jr., owner of Mainstreet Business Solutions.
He saw the need to start Mainstreet four
years ago when he watched a lot of small businesses get poor consulting
for their IT problems. The opportunity was to provide better, more personal
service to small businesses often brushed aside by bigger companies.
Mainstreet is moving forward in a tough
economy, forging new business relationship and keeping a few contractors busy.
But Oplinger, Jr. hopes to hire a few employees when the economy picks up and
gives his business a little breathing and growing room.
Until then he is just moving forward, one
small step at a time.
