We Fix the Four Things Most Small Businesses Get Wrong
Most business owners aren't failing because they don't work hard. They're failing because nobody ever showed them how to run the business — just how to do the work.
Here's where that shows up:
-
Clear Financials. Know your real numbers — not your gut feeling about your numbers.
-
Tight Operating Systems. Repeatable processes so the business doesn't fall apart when you're not in the room.
-
Real-Time Visibility. A simple weekly scorecard that tells you if you're winning or losing this week, not just this year.
-
Stronger Teams. People who know what's expected of them and are accountable for it.
No buzzwords. No 40-slide strategy decks. Just the fundamentals, done right.
This is the same approach that helped Papa Vince cut costs and rebuild their team around one shared vision — see how below.
CLIENT RESULTS
NoBS Results, Straight From Business Owners
Practical consulting for owners who need clearer numbers, stronger systems, better priorities, and fewer costly blind spots.
“NoBS transformed my business from being in trouble during our slowest time of the year, to an e-commerce powerhouse"
“Nick gave me the time that I needed to examine my website, competitors, and literally all facets of my business. He took the time to really understand my needs and teach me about the weak portions of my business and how to transform them into strengths! The most valuable thing that this company did for my business was he made me look at my competitors that generated the most revenue and some of their stats as well as their strategies. This knowledge not only helped me face some of my fears, but it also transformed my business into a fierce competitor.”

“Nicholas helped us turn ideas into structure, priorities, and real execution.”
“Since getting together with Nick, we have a strategy for everything. We have a proper marketing company, profit margins which we didn’t have before, better pricing, and we have a much more structured approach to everything.”

“He helped us see the business more clearly and make better decisions with confidence.”
“I’ve had some experience with consultants in the past. It’s usually a high fee for a short amount of time…but Nick’s model is very different. He wins when we win. I highly recommend NoBS, it’s been a game changer for my business. He’s helped me in immense ways. I have had other coaches and industry leaders say ‘man we all need a Nick’, and I think that speaks for itself.”

Nicholas Horan
Founder & CEO
I started NoBS Business Solutions because I watched too many good business owners get bad advice — vague frameworks, recycled buzzwords, and consultants who showed up for the invoice but not the implementation.
My background spans mom-and-pop shops, fast-growing startups, and a $20 billion industry leader. Across all of it, the same pattern kept showing up: businesses don't usually fail from a lack of effort. They fail from a lack of clarity — on the numbers, on the systems, and on what the team is actually supposed to be doing.
I learned this the hard way, too. My first business failed. That failure taught me more about running a company than any class or book could have. It's also why I started this firm: to help owners get the clarity I had to learn the expensive way.
Based in Loveland, Colorado, NoBS Business Solutions works with owners who want straight answers about their business — not motivational talk. We focus on the fundamentals: clean financial records, real profit-margin understanding, dependable teams, and a clear path to growing what you've built.
