The owner, who is willing to remain part of the team for a couple of years to ensure continuity of operations, remotely manages the day-to-day operations and completes much of the translation work. The translating duties could be distributed to a contracted employee, if desired.
Current administrative operations are completed remotely and both contracted coordinating assistants work part-time from their home. The bank of seventy-five contracted interpreters are local and take assignments throughout Northeast Ohio and work in over fifty languages. The team of twenty-five translators work in over 150 languages and are all remote hires.

To build upon current successes, investment in marketing could be effective in generating new clients as could networking with local business owners. There is complete confidence that this business will flourish again post-pandemic.
