About MR Group, Inc.

MR Group, Inc., is a business-consulting firm founded to serve the great need many businesses have for extensive and specialized skills not generally found in small or medium companies.

Most startups or existing small businesses function with the owner as the principal operator. Usually, this person identifies a need associated with a former business employment or experience and designs the ‘better mouse trap’. Typically, this person is good at a skill or trade or technology, but not educated or experienced in the organization and management of a business entity, with the varied knowledge or skill demand.

MR Group, Inc., has assembled a team of professionals representing the various skill needs of most small businesses. These individuals are skilled in marketing, research, advertising, product design and origination, graphic design, and the implementation and management of these functions. The company seeks to provide a level of service generally associated with industry leaders in each category.

The consulting team is brought in on an as-needed basis, giving MR Group, Inc., the option of calling on whichever professional is best suited for a particular client need. Each associate is compensated for services provided to the team, giving MR Group, Inc., access to top level talent on an informal as well as formal basis.
