OUR MISSION: MITIGATING BUSINESS OWNER RISK

Our work is with business owners in assisting them in meeting their goals. We begin by seeking to understand their business, including those things that may be keeping them awake at night. With this knowledge in hand, we develop solutions that fit their specific needs. We then work hand in hand with the owner and their team to implement those solutions.

The value adds that we provide vary, but they do include peace of mind while allowing the owner more time to grow their business!

  • Eric Saddler
    Frank Hickman is a man of honor and integrity and I’ve had the pleasure of working with Frank for the last few years. He has also become a friend and we enjoy some fun with our military rivalry. As a small business owner, I am grateful for meeting Frank as he deserves credit for several improvements to my business. Frank’s broad knowledge of financial, insurance, and business operations enabled him to see opportunities that I either wasn’t aware of or couldn’t see myself. He’s humble and will give all the credit to the diverse team of experts with whom he works, but it’s Frank’s initiative that uncovered some brilliant ideas and his professional drive that brought these ideas to fruition. He’s the seasoned quarterback that has seen all the plays and knows how to score. Both my business and my family are in a better position as a result of working with Frank and trusting his leadership.

    Frank Hickman is the consummate professional. Having worked with Frank for the last 7 years serving clients together across the state of Ohio, I have always admired and respected Frank’s approach to life and business as well as his ability to make a personal connection with the people he seeks to serve. Frank is a terrific listener and a great coach in helping you discover the items that most need your attention in your professional and personal life. Specializing in the business owner market-place, Frank is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and ask the tough questions along with the easy ones. He only wants to see you be the best business and owner of a business you can be. He will stay true to you, committed to the task of serving, and being your number one advocate and fan of your business ventures and work relationships. I cannot think of a better person to help you get started on establishing new important business plans or help you evaluate the ones you already have in place.

THE WHETSTONE LEGACY

The Whetstone River is not far from the dairy farm where I grew up. As a boy the river was always a source of curiosity for me. I often found time to slip away from the farm and head there on my own or, at times, with other neighborhood boys. The Whetstone was where we whiled away our days exploring what the river had to offer and just having fun!
