Our Story

Built by Business Owners,
for Business Owners

We've run the businesses, navigated the challenges, and learned what it really takes to build something that lasts. That experience is what we bring to every client.

How We Got Here

A Decade of Real-World Experience

Inspired Consulting was founded by Alicia and Ryan Betzler — two entrepreneurs who have collectively owned and operated over five successful businesses across their careers, most recently a restaurant and delivery business.

After a decade of consulting with small business owners, we kept seeing the same problem: great business owners being stretched impossibly thin across too many vendors, too many systems, and too many moving parts. We experienced it ourselves.

We built Inspired Consulting to be the solution we wished we had — a single, trusted partner that could handle the full picture of running and growing a business, without the overhead of managing five different relationships to do it.

This country was founded on the idea that anyone can make it.

We believe in that idea completely. Small business owners are the backbone of the American economy — and they deserve the same quality of support that large corporations take for granted. Inspired Consulting exists to level that playing field, one business at a time.

Our Guiding Principles

01
Clients Come First
Every decision we make is filtered through one question: is this the best outcome for our client? We don't cut corners, and we don't settle for good enough.
02
One Team, Full Picture
You get a single point of contact — but the full weight of both partners behind every engagement. Nothing falls through the cracks because we're always working together.
03
Experience You Can Trust
We don't just advise — we've lived it. Our guidance comes from real ownership experience across real businesses, not theory or guesswork.
