About Us

At D & E Business Solutions, we believe strong businesses are built on clarity, strategy, and trust. Our approach is rooted in real-world experience—not theory—because we’ve been where our clients are and understand the challenges business owners face every day.

Dan’s Story

Dan is a successful business owner based in Durango, Colorado, with years of hands-on experience building and growing a local business. Through real-world trial, strategy, and execution, Dan learned what truly works when it comes to marketing, operations, and growth. More importantly, he learned what doesn’t.

Driven by a genuine passion for helping people, Dan developed a practical, results-focused approach to business consulting—one that prioritizes clarity, efficiency, and profitability. His strength lies in simplifying complex decisions, creating marketing strategies that actually convert, and helping business owners move forward with confidence.

Elma’s Story

Elma brings over 17 years of experience as a successful business owner in New Mexico, paired with a strong background in banking and finance. She worked extensively as a commercial credit and financial analyst, spending years analyzing the financial health of businesses across multiple industries.

Her expertise includes evaluating cash flow, profitability, risk, and overall business performance—identifying where companies were strong, where they were vulnerable, and how they could improve. Elma has reviewed countless financial statements and understands exactly what lenders, banks, and decision-makers look for when assessing a business.

Her analytical mindset, combined with real business ownership experience, allows her to provide clear, strategic guidance that helps businesses become healthier, more profitable, and better positioned for long-term success.

Why We’re Different

Together, Dan and Elma combine hands-on business ownership, marketing execution, financial analysis, and strategic advisory into one cohesive approach. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we take the time to understand your business, your goals, and your challenges—then build strategies that are practical, personalized, and results-driven.

We see your business as more than numbers or campaigns. We see it as something you’ve worked hard to build—and we’re committed to helping you protect it, grow it, and make it work better for you.

Our Commitment

At D & E Business Solutions, our mission is simple:

Provide clarity where there is confusion

Strategy where there is guesswork

Support where business owners feel overwhelmed

We’re here to help you make smarter decisions, improve profitability, and build a stronger, more secure future for your business.
