“Yashwant was amazing every step of the way. Together, we were able to come up with a game plan and execute at all levels to bring this idea to fruition. I highly recommend Yashwant and the RISBDC.”

– Andres Brito

When Andres decided to start his practice in Rhode Island, he was working as a clinic director in Maryland, gaining valuable operational experience and refining his management skills. Born in Rhode Island and a URI graduate, RI was the natural choice for establishing his chiropractic clinic. His experience working with the US Bobsledding team for the Olympics and learning the intricacies of running a clinic prepared him well for this venture, allowing him to approach challenges with prudence.

Andres initially approached the Rhode Island Small Business Development Center (RISBDC) with a question about LLC registration. This evolved into a comprehensive partnership, encompassing financing exploration, location scouting, robust financial and marketing plan development, and preparation for the grand opening. Andres demonstrated meticulous attention to detail throughout the process, ensuring every aspect of his business was well-planned. His dedication was evident in his cohesive approach to integrating all elements of his startup.

Ascend Chiropractic Clinics, offering personalized, noninvasive, and innovative chiropractic care, is now open at 284 Phenix Avenue, Cranston. Andres continues collaborating with Yashwant, Providence Center Director, and Taylor, Marketing Consultant at RI SBDC, focusing on financial planning, business growth management, and marketing strategy.
