Consulting with a Cause: Pcnaid’s 1% Commitment to Main Street
I launched Pcnaid Inc. to help entrepreneurs in North Texas start faster and run smarter. Very often I meet owners who can run a great shop, but the back‑office work—formation, payments, websites, bookkeeping, utilities, and telecom—slows them down or is simply out of budget.
Pledge 1% gave me a simple framework to make help part of the business model, not just a nice idea. Pcnaid commits at least 1% of our time and services to pro‑bono or deeply discounted projects for underestimated entrepreneurs and local nonprofits. Each month I set aside dedicated hours for “give projects” that can include entity formation support, payment processing setup and fee reviews, a basic website or brand refresh, bookkeeping kickoff, and cost‑reduction audits for internet, phone, and utilities.
Even as a company of one, the 1% model keeps our impact consistent. Clients tell me the support shaved weeks off their launch timelines, helped them accept digital payments quickly, reduced overhead, and—most importantly—gave them confidence to grow. The approach also invites partners and clients to match that spirit of giving when they can.
As Pcnaid expands with contractors and new service lines, our goal is to scale this commitment alongside the business. The more we grow, the more hours and services we can return to the community. Pledge 1% has turned generosity into a system—and that’s how Pcnaid plans to keep building Main Street, one small business at a time.
