REPRESENTING SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS
GCI GLOBAL represents a significant number of small businesses. Some of them come to the firm after having been up and running for years, and others are true start-ups.
Small businesses have unique aspects which the GCI GLOBAL is well-suited to address. For instance, these clients may not have the same legal budget as their larger counterparts. Hence, the firm strives to provide sophisticated, first-class service in an efficient manner within the client's financial limitations. In addition, the firm recognizes that many small businesses are closely-held by family members, lending a special dynamic to their business transactions.
