Bevel & Sloane works with Miami area businesses of 10 to 250 people on training programs, onboarding, SOPs, manager training and KPIs, and trains a named internal successor to run it all. We are Chicago based and work remote and on site by arrangement, from $4,500 a month.
Doing business in Miami
South Florida runs from Miami through Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach, with tourism and hospitality, international trade and logistics, real estate, healthcare, and a growing finance and technology presence. Many businesses work in two languages and across several locations, and onboarding has to work for staff who may never meet the owner in person.
| Measure | Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Small businesses | 1,469,895 | 2022 |
| Small employers with 20 to 499 employees | 13,890 | 2022 |
| Small business employees | 1,250,031 | 2022 |
| Share of metro employees at small businesses | 53.6% | 2022 |
| Florida quits rate, average Jul to Dec 2025 | 2.1% (US 2.0%) | 2025 |
In 2023, 19.8% of private workers in the metro were self employed (SBA Office of Advocacy, 2025 metro profiles (South)). In Florida, the quits rate averaged 2.1% a month from July to December 2025, close to the national rate of 2.0% (BLS State JOLTS, Table 4, released July 22, 2026). Turnover is about average, which still means a steady flow of new hires to onboard and a steady drain of know how.
Who we work with here
By small business employment, the biggest industries in the metro are healthcare (174,801), hospitality and food service (167,717) and professional services (145,985). Among firms with 20 to 499 employees, the largest groups are hospitality and food service, healthcare and professional services.
Bottlenecks we see most
Healthcare
Small firms in the metro employ 174,801 people in healthcare, 47.9% of the sector's jobs. Think multi site clinics, dental and therapy groups, behavioral health and home care. New front desk and care staff are often trained by whoever is free that day, and documentation habits vary by provider. With 74% of dentists recruiting hygienists calling it extremely challenging, a faster, structured ramp is worth more than another job posting.
Hospitality and food service
Small firms in the metro employ 167,717 people in hospitality and food service, 60.1% of the sector's jobs. Restaurant groups, hotels and event businesses. Accommodation and food services had the highest quits rate of any industry, 3.5% in August 2026, so crew onboarding, shift lead training and the same standard at every location carry most of the weight.

How it works from Chicago
Most of the Miami area is on Eastern time, one hour ahead of Chicago, so the weekly 60 minute calibration lands at a normal hour for your team. The rest runs in a shared Slack channel.
- Week 1. Free checkup and a discovery session by video.
- Weeks 1 to 2. Shadowing by video and screen recordings, plus interviews with the people who hold the know how.
- By Day 30. You name an internal successor who co-pilots every build.
- Months 2 to 6. SOPs, onboarding, manager training and KPIs piloted, then handed over.
We have no office in the Miami area. Work is remote and on site by arrangement: if a kickoff or a shadowing day in person would help, we scope it in up front.
