50 Years of Small Business Wisdom, Supercharged by AI: Shelly Berman Launches The Business Health Check

BOSTON - EntSun -- After five decades building, advising, and rescuing small businesses, Shelly Berman has seen every pattern, every pitfall, and every missed opportunity that keeps talented entrepreneurs stuck. Now, she has turned that lifetime of insight into a single, powerful diagnostic: The Business Health Check. Launched today through her firm Small Business Results, the Business Health Check is the only diagnostic of its kind — one that combines Berman's 50 years of on-the-ground small business wisdom with cutting-edge AI analysis to give owners a complete, unsparing picture of their business health. The result is a prioritized, actionable roadmap that tells owners not just what is broken, but precisely what to fix first and how. "I've spent 50 years watching smart, hardworking people struggle
with businesses that should be thriving. The patterns are always there — owners just can't see them because they're living inside the problem. The Business Health Check changes that. It combines everything I know with what AI now makes possible. Nothing like it exists for small business owners." — Shelly Berman, Founder, Small Business Results

four businesses built over five decades, she has lived every stage of the small business
journey — the breakthroughs, the near-misses, and the costly blind spots that even the best owners fail to see. She holds the U.S. Trademark for The Truth About Succeeding in Small Business® and has advised owners across industries from retail to professional services to healthcare.

What sets Berman apart is what she did next: she became one of the earliest adopters of
artificial intelligence in the small business advisory space. Rather than watching AI from the
sidelines, she dove in — learning, experimenting, and ultimately discovering how to combine AI's analytical power with her own irreplaceable expertise. The Business Health
Check is the result of that fusion. "No AI tool alone can do what the Business Health Check does," Berman explains. "It takes 50 years of knowing what questions to ask, what the answers really mean, and what owners actually need to hear — not just what the data says. That's the combination I've built."

A DIAGNOSTIC BUILT FOR THE REAL WORLD OF SMALL BUSINESS

The Business Health Check evaluates businesses across seven core categories, producing
a color-coded scorecard that reveals exactly where a business stands and what is costing it
revenue right now. It is available at three levels:

Level 0 — BHC Webinar ($47, launching April 30): A live introduction to the Business
Health Check framework. Participants receive a 7-category diagnostic and color-coded
scorecard with instant clarity on their biggest gap. The $47 fee applies in full toward any
deeper engagement.

REAL OWNERS. REAL RESULTS.

The Business Health Check methodology has already produced transformative results for
small business owners across industries:

Bonnie Low-Kramen, International Assistant Trainer: When COVID-19 eliminated 100% of
her in-person revenue overnight, a Business Health Check revealed the root vulnerabilities
and a complete pivot roadmap. She rebuilt as a thriving online training business with
diversified revenue — from scratch.

Twist Bakery & Café: On the verge of opening a second location, a diagnostic revealed the
brand and pricing structure couldn't support it. With the right foundation built, expansion
succeeded — with cross-location loyalty powered by targeted email marketing.

PT Progression: Physical therapist Shawn Sprague was ready to launch his own facility but
missing critical infrastructure. His health check uncovered gaps in positioning, revenue
modeling, and systems. He launched with a professional brand, multiple revenue streams,
and a business built to scale.
