40+ YEARS OF CLIENT-FOCUSED RESULTS

Ken Gilbert and Jean Santos want your business to succeed.  That was their goal 40+ years ago when they started Business Consulting Resources (BCR) and it’s their goal for your business today.  

It began with a partnership and a love story.  A year after working together to provide consulting for small businesses, Ken and Jean were married. 

Business Consulting Resources, their small family business, has grown into a diversified team of consultants and partners that work together to make their client’s business dreams a reality. With operations in Hawaii, California, Texas, and Florida, BCR works with businesses across the country to redefine success.

Who is BCR?  BCR is innovative, strategic, and adaptive to changing business needs.  BCR is a 40+ year legacy of success.

Successfully delivering Client satisfaction for 40 years.

I was referred to BCR by one of my valued and reliable partners and I reached out to them to help me create a Continuity and Contingency plan for my business. From my initial call through the entire process, it was one of the most interesting, educational and important tasks as a business owner. The BCR team was not only knowledgeable and thorough; they made what could have been a daunting process an actual pleasure. I see them as a long term partner as my business grows and changes. I always say, leave it to the professionals. And BCR are indeed the professionals.

Between 2008 and 2013, BCR was instrumental in the generational transition of our family business, Phoenix Pacific.  They brought a very busy family together and helped us pass the torch of leadership and business responsibility.  It set us on a path forward for our business and as a family.  Ten years later, the effects of their hard work and support are still felt and appreciated.  Ken & Laurie became trusted advisors and friends to the family who we still keep in touch with today.  BCR is a resource for any family business.  They have the experience and knowledge to help the families of Hawaii make this kind of transition.  We would recommend them to any family going through a similar transition.

Dear Family Business Owner, My brothers and I are partners and co-owners of Title Guaranty Escrow Services, Inc. Together we have faced typical business and personal issues that most family businesses deal with. To help us navigate these issues over several years, we worked with Business Consulting Resources Inc. (BCR) and have been very pleased with the results. In addition to addressing family considerations, BCR has been actively involved in evaluating and developing strategic and operational plans for the Company. They interacted with both family and non-family senior managers to understand perspectives, develop strategies for decision making, and achieve effective communication amongst all parties. Family businesses will greatly benefit from the services provided by Business Consulting Resources. They are an objective outside advisor that will provide your family business with the tools to achieve the success we have worked so hard for.

BCR has been a partner and trusted advisor to our company for over thirty years. With the assistance of the BCR team, we have added structure and processes to help us operate more effectively, built the capabilities of our management/leadership team and grown the number of branches that we operate. With their assistance we have a strategic plan in place which we review and update regularly. BCR has helped us acquire a competitor, advised on human resources issues, interviewed/evaluated key team member candidates and functioned as an objective confidant to me and the leadership team. Perhaps the most important process that BCR has supported us with is the transition of the company to the second generation of my family, enabling us to continue to operate as a family owned, locally founded company.
