Okanagan Small Business Services Inc.
Okanagan Small Business Services Inc. was established in 2019 by sisters, Danielle Harshenin and Geneva Jensen. Danielle and Geneva are both life-long residents of the Okanagan Valley. The idea to start a business that would offer support services to small local business owners was a natural progression of events, stemming back to their childhood. The sisters were raised by entrepreneurial parents who both ran small businesses. Growing up in a home where small businesses put food on the table helped them appreciate the many trials an tribulations associated with self-employment. As the sisters grew up, they developed a keen understanding of the Okanagan's small business landscape.
Today, after attending college and gaining experience in their respective fields, the sisters bring a powerful blend of complimentary skill sets to Okanagan Small Business Services. Danielle obtained her Bachelors of Business Administration in Marketing and Human Resources Management, and brings her creativity and leadership skills to the business; Geneva obtained her Bachelors of Business Administration in Accounting, and brings her diligent work ethic and love of numbers to the business. Together, they are able to offer a wide range of professional support services to help other small local business owners achieve their goals.

Accessibility. Transparency. Professionalism.
At Okanagan Small Business Services, we understand small business because we are a small business. Our objective is to support the little guys who are often overlooked by the big firms. We offer support and guidance services in areas that we, as small business owners ourselves, found difficult to access on a small-scale. Many of the larger marketing, HR and accounting firms tailor their services to big business. It can be cost-prohibitive for small business owners to access these services because big firms want huge monthly budgets that are just not feasible. This creates an obstacle to growth because the small business needs these professional services, but it can't afford them. In addition, smaller accounts will often get overlooked by big firms because they are "low priority", which leads to sub-par service and a poor return on investment. We observed this issue first-hand and wanted to provide a solution.
Our philosophy at Okanagan Small Business Services is that our professional support services must be accessible to the small business owners who need them. We are committed to providing flexible, affordable solutions to common small business problems on an as-needed basis. No commitments. No long-term contracts. No minimum budgets. Our processes and prices have been designed to be as transparent and easy-to-understand as possible so our clients know exactly what they are paying for. No vague service contracts or long-term commitments, just practical help when you need it.
Danielle and Geneva are excited to help as many small local business owners as they can and look forward to building strong connections in the community they love.
