@BerkshireCountyBusiness is a collaborative blog featuring the insights of local business consultants Allen Jezouit and Jeff Stripp from Berkshire Direct and Lucy Pavalock from Custom Business Solutions. The three of us spend a lot of time working directly with clients facing real-world issues that impact their marketing, selling, financing, and cash flow management. Stop back weekly (at least) or subscribe to our RSS feed to stay current with our perspectives on business in the Berkshires.

Support Local News

We show up at hurricanes, budget meetings, high school games, accidents, fires and community events. We show up at celebrations and tragedies and everything in between. We show up so our readers can learn about pivotal events that affect their communities and their lives.

How important is local news to you? You can support independent, unbiased journalism and help iBerkshires grow for as a little as the cost of a cup of coffee a week.
