FAQ
Questions, answered.
The things students and business owners ask us most. Still curious about something? Reach out. We read everything.
For students
Do I need to be a business major or have experience?
No. The club is open to every major with no experience required. Business analysis is a skill anyone can build, and mixed-major teams give clients better answers.
Is there a cost to join?
No dues. Membership is completely free.
How much time does it take each week?
Two short sessions a week: one to learn the week's concept, one to apply it in a hands-on case. Members on an active client team also put in project time across the engagement.
What will I actually learn?
Working fluency in the tools consultants use, Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and R, plus real consulting practice: scoping problems, analyzing them, and presenting recommendations.
When and where does the club meet?
Meeting days, times, and room go out to members on the interest list. Join and we'll email you the details first.
How do I join?
Fill out the short interest form on the Join page. Founding members get first pick of teams, cases, and client projects.
For local businesses
Is it really free?
Yes, genuinely free. No fee, no upsell, no strings. Students get real experience; you get real help. That's the whole exchange.
What kinds of problems can you help with?
Common ones include pricing, marketing and social media, slow sales or growth, messy operations, tracking money, and building a clear plan for growth. If you're not sure, reach out and we'll scope it together.
Who oversees the students' work?
Faculty and working consultants guide and review every engagement before recommendations reach you. Students never work unsupervised.
How long does a project take?
A typical engagement runs a few weeks. We start with a short conversation to scope one clear, answerable question, then a team of 3–4 students analyzes it and reports back.
What do I get at the end?
Clear findings and specific, practical next steps you can act on immediately, yours to keep. There is no invoice.
How do I request help?
Fill out the short inquiry form on the For Businesses page, or email us. A sentence or two about your business and what's bothering you is plenty to start.
