"Ann and I found the Peridot Business group to be a very enriching experience for our new company. We were able to focus and fine-tune our vision in our partnership as well as connect with future business associates who have helped us with financial, marketing, and management advice. The best part was Shari g this experience with other businesses in the area from whom we could grow ideas and collaborate within the process. I highly recommend John Michael and Bill as facilitators and advisors."
