Warrant Officer Plummer takes his role as a U.S. Army soldier very seriously, as evidenced by his multiple tours of war zone duty. However, when not engaged with the elimination or capture of terrorists, he is preparing for his livelihood for when he returns home from the war. Chicago native Plummer, along with two other South-side Chicago friends and business partners - Eric Smith and Verdell Williams, Jr. - recently launched FOR BUSINESS SAKE, LLC, a firm that helps newly formed or small companies to establish and build business credit.

"It gives me great satisfaction to know that FOR BUSINESS SAKE can assist companies in developing and maintaining good credit ratings that allow them easier access to business capital," commented Plummer. "I am grateful to Eric and Verdell for helping me to realize my goal of entrepreneurship even though I am serving in uniform, and otherwise engaged with the business of making life safer for the people of my country and the world." As the partner who possesses the most finance and banking experience, Verdell Williams runs the company's day-to-day operations and its marketing program. "Eric and I communicate with Sean almost daily via email or webcam to discuss business development and other matters of importance for our start-up company," said Williams. Besides the three company owners, FOR BUSINESS SAKE employs two staffers - one salesperson and one individual responsible for customer service and administrative duties. "I'm sure I can speak for all of us when I say that we are proud to deliver on our promises and guarantees to our clients," Williams commented. "We take considerable pride in being able to help new or small businesses to be successful in the face of the strength of their larger competitors." ABOUT THE ENTREPRENEURS
