Creative Revenue Consulting
Your future-minded business deserves revenue streams that fit your ethos, not someone else’s been-there-done-that playbook. Tavola’s Creative Revenue Consulting service helps you identify, test, and launch aligned income streams that strengthen your business without compromising your values.
Together, we identify, vet, and design data-backed, industry-informed ways for your business to earn. This isn’t guesswork; it’s grounded strategy. Each revenue stream is aligned with emerging market trends and tailored to your business’s unique DNA. The result? Income that’s not just new, but next: credible, sustainable, and future-ready.
Investment:
Creative Revenue Consulting services begin at $4,000. Each engagement includes:
A 90-minute Creative Intake Session to understand your revenue goals and ethos.
A Trend + Viability Report, outlining 3–5 data-backed, industry-informed revenue opportunities tailored to your strengths, skills, and values.
A Final Strategy Session to refine next steps and ensure you’re equipped to move forward with confidence.
After the initial representation, some clients are ready to immediately activate their next revenue stream. For these clients, Tavola offers Implementation Engagements - a guided, hands-on process to bring one aligned revenue stream to life.
Each engagement is bespoke and may include:
Pilot Design: Define the concept, structure, and goals for your first offering or revenue test.

Each engagement is term-limited and curated to move you from aligned strategy to measurable results, without endless retainer hours.You’ll always know the full investment before work begins. We do not do hidden fees, surprise invoices, or open-ended consultancies.
First Employee Hire Infrastructure
Hiring your first employee or contractor is one of the biggest turning points in your business — and one of the most legally complex. Tavola provides you with a clear, customized framework for making that first hire with confidence and compliance.
Because your first hire should grow your business. Not jeopardize it.
In this necessary service, we review your business structure, assess your immediate and long-term staffing goals, and identify the right role at the right time to help you grow sustainably. From job design to onboarding, we guide you through every step with the clarity of a seasoned employment attorney and the care of a fellow founder.
We help you:
Determine whether your first hire should be an employee or contractor, based on a full legal evaluation of proposed position. (Because this is not a game to play with the IRS!)
Address wage, hour, and benefits considerations, helping you stay compliant with federal and state law.
Consider industry-specific employment regulations and requirements that might exist especially for you.
…and so much more. This is a fully customized service that’s designed to give you clarity and confidence as your business grows.
For founders ready to grow, we also offer an extended engagement that includes deeper structural support — from benefits design and handbook drafting to ongoing employment scaffolding assistance. At the end of this engagement. you’ll be fully structured to confidently employ the people who will help your business grow.
Investment:
First Hire Review Services start at $2,450, which includes a complete compliance review and a clear written plan for your first employee or contractor.
For founders who choose the full infrastructure review + implementation experience, engagements start at $7,000. The full price will depend on complexity and scope of the work. You’ll know the full investment before any work begins.
Scaling a business means more than hiring people and increasing overhead. It means building the systems that let your people and your business thrive.
We help you scale at the speed of sustainability; building a team that supports your vision without overwhelming your infrastructure or your finances. This isn’t about hiring for optics or overextending your resources. It’s about creating a deliberate, right-sized foundation that evolves alongside your revenue, your leadership, and your capacity.
When growth is intentional, it doesn’t break what you’ve built. It strengthens it.
This service is ideal for founders who are ready to scale their businesses, improve systems, and build the infrastructure to sustain success without losing sight of their values.
We assess where your business is now, forecast where you’re headed one and five years from now, and build the frameworks that bridge the gap. Together, we clarify which roles you need (versus which ones you might want), draft compliant job descriptions, come up with realistic implementation costs, and design simple policies that protect your people and your peace.
The result is a business that’s not only legally sound but operationally solid — built to grow on purpose, not by accident.
Investment:
Scaling Review & Roadmap: Starting at $8,750 (typically completed in 6–8 weeks)
Implementation: Starting at $14,000, depending on scope (typically 3–6 months)
Each engagement is bespoke, grounded in your business’s DNA, and focused on creating structure that fuels—not strangles—your growth.
Employment Scaffolding
Employment Practices Audit & Implementation
Not every small business is ready for a full-time employment attorney. But every growing business deserves access to strategic legal insight about employment matters. Tavola’s Employment Practices Audit & Implementation service gives you that bridge - trusted counsel to help you through one of the most challenging growth phases of your business. The staffing phase.
We step in as your strategic partner for a defined season, helping you assess risks and protect your business. You get the confidence of counsel that understands your business, not as a template, but as a living, evolving entity. We also understand that people are the motor behind business success, and that when people feel valued, through compensation, benefits, and working conditions, they become invested in the success of the business that they serve.
At Tavola, we take the time to learn your ethos, your rhythm, and your ambitions - so we can help you grow in ways that reflect not just where your industry has been, but where it’s going.
