Why Sandia Consultants was founded

Sandia Consultants was founded on the belief that business owners should not have to build alone.
With the right guidance, support structure, and long-term partnership, businesses are better equipped to grow sustainably, strengthen their communities, and create lasting success.

Created to Support Business Owners

Sandia Consultants was founded to help business owners navigate the challenges of starting, managing, and growing a business with greater clarity, structure, and confidence.

Ryan Parra’s background in public leadership, business advocacy, and sustainable development gave him a unique view into the challenges facing both new and growing businesses. Time and again, he noticed owners with great ideas and strong potential were being overwhelmed by the realities of registrations, taxation, networking, administration, planning, and daily operations.

Sandia Consultants was created to solve that problem by giving business owners the support they need to focus less on being buried by the business and focus more on leading it.

Founded on Partnership & Sustainable Growth

From the beginning, Sandia Consultants was designed to be more than a traditional consulting firm. We believe the strongest results come from long term partnerships.

We believe many businesses should dedicate part of their budget to development, marketing, and long-term growth support. Many industry leaders and companies often invest roughly 5% or more of revenue into areas that help strengthen visibility, operations, and sustainability over time.

Rather than relying only on large upfront fees, Sandia Consultants offers a revenue-based partnership model that allows businesses to access a wide range of support through a percentage-based service structure. This approach helps reduce financial pressure at the beginning while creating a model that grows alongside the business.

Because our support is tied to the growth of the company, our team has a strong incentive to help clients improve operations, strengthen marketing, build better systems, and create long-term success. As the business grows, the partnership continues to deliver value in a way that is more flexible and sustainable than a one-size-fits-all fee structure.

For some businesses, we may also offer monthly retainers or hourly support depending on the scope of work, the company’s stage of growth, and the type of assistance needed.
