Aiming To Be a Cut Above Other Barbers

Rolando Duarte set his sights on opening a business after he finished barber school and moved quickly when a storefront became available. He has built up a client base, while still teaching at the academy and showcasing his skills in competitions across the U.S. His goal is to expand to a larger city.

Challenge

Rolando wanted to make sure he protected himself and his investment, but being so new to business he didn’t know what that would take or cost. What he did know was how much time and energy he needed to dedicate toward building his business, so he wanted to ensure he didn’t have to worry about anything else.

 

How Paychex Helped

After speaking with a Paychex employee at barber school about his dream of opening a barbershop, Duarte reached out to the rep who said he could help when the time came. A quick call produced insights about the right kind of insurance for himself and started a relationship that Rolando values.

Success Strategy

With an eventual goal to expand and add other passionate barbers to his staff, Rolando has talked about adding services that would be beneficial to his clients, his business, and any future employees. Paychex is ready with its customizable suite of services that grow when the business is ready to grow.

“People at Paychex make me feel comfortable. It’s more of a friend relationship than a business relationship. They’re taking care of all the things I don’t know … I can live almost stress-free.”
