Expert Support Designed for the Small Business Budget

Most consulting firms focus on the “Big Guys,” leaving small business owners to struggle with complex regulations alone. At Prep Consulting LLC, led by Ella Garrett, we specialize in the unique needs of startups and growing small businesses.

Our Approach

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We provide a personalized, hands-on partnership that simplifies the complex. By delegating your “administrative busywork” to us, you reclaim hours of your week to focus on what actually drives revenue. Based in St. Louis, we take pride in supporting the local entrepreneurial ecosystem with affordable, reliable, and expert-led solutions.

Your success story starts with the right systems

Our Services

Startup Formation & Legal Filings

We navigate the “paperwork maze” for you. Our team handles LLC/Entity formation, EIN/Tax ID registration, and the drafting of essential Operating Agreements to ensure you are legally protected from Day 1.

Never miss a deadline again. We manage your Annual Reports, business license renewals, and state-mandated filings, protecting you from costly penalties and administrative dissolution.

We conduct “work simplification” studies to find where your business is losing time. We design and implement custom systems for invoicing, document management, and client communication that scale as you do.

Build a better team with professional onboarding documentation, employee handbooks, and customized training solutions that ensure your staff is compliant and empowered.

For the busy founder, we provide high-level back-office support, including calendar management, professional document preparation, and vendor coordination.

"Running a small business is a 24/7 job. I needed someone reliable to clean up our operational workflows and manage our annual renewals. Prep Consulting delivered exactly what they promised without the high overhead of a big firm. If you’re a St. Louis local and need to get organized, call Ella."
