Ocean 2Table makes a big splash in the local fish marketplace
Ian Cole and Charlie Lambert both grew up in the fishing industry and teamed up to approach fishing from a different angle. Imagining a new business model that would allow customers a direct connection, they started Ocean2Table. Determined to change the status quo, they went door-to-door to seek potential clients and soon generated a list of regular clients. They sought SBDC's guidance with business management, projection, and overall growth. Working with their SBDC advisor allowed Ian and Charlie to focus their time on their clients while strengthening their operations and financial foundations. In 2021, SBDC helped Ocean2Table hire 7 new part-time and full-time employees and obtain an SBA EIDL loan to continue expanding their operation
