Business Consulting, Business Coaching & Fractional-COO for Indianapolis
Indianapolis companies move fast—logistics, manufacturing, healthcare providers, and growing service firms all compete for talent, customers, and operational reliability.

From tighter forecasting and clearer accountability to smoother handoffs between sales, operations, and customer service, we help you build a practical operating system. Based in Vancouver, we support Indianapolis teams with remote leadership and on-site engagement where it makes sense—so you get expert guidance without pausing your day-to-day.
How we help Indianapolis businesses
Business Consulting
Get clarity on strategy and execution: diagnose what’s breaking, align priorities to resources, and map a workable plan for Indianapolis realities like throughput, vendor dependencies, and customer expectations.
Business Coaching
Build leader capability: communication, decision-making, and accountability. We help Indianapolis founders and managers run consistent planning, manage performance, and reduce “founder-led” bottlenecks.
Fractional COO
Outsourced operations leadership to stabilise day-to-day execution. We strengthen processes, KPIs, scheduling, and cross-team coordination so operations in Indianapolis run predictably, not reactively.
The Indianapolis business landscape
Indianapolis’ business economy is driven by durable sectors like advanced manufacturing, distribution and logistics, and a broad healthcare ecosystem, alongside a growing number of regional service businesses. That mix demands disciplined operations—reliable delivery, predictable cash flow, and scalable processes—especially when hiring is competitive and margins are under pressure.

Questions from Indianapolis owners
What’s the difference between business consulting and a fractional COO in my company?
Consulting helps you diagnose issues, set direction, and design an operating plan. A fractional COO implements and runs the system in real time—tightening workflows, KPIs, and coordination—so improvements actually stick between planning cycles.
I’m an Indianapolis owner—can you work with us remotely without losing momentum?
Yes. We typically engage as a remote partner, using structured check-ins, KPI reviews, and documented operating processes. When an on-site workshop or observation would accelerate progress, we add targeted presence—without disrupting your operations.
Our team is busy, but results feel inconsistent. Where should we start?
We start by clarifying outcomes, then auditing how work moves from lead to delivery. In many Indianapolis small and mid-sized firms, the root problem is unclear ownership, weak handoffs, and KPIs that measure activity instead of results.
Can coaching help if the problem is mostly operational, not leadership?
Operational issues are often leadership issues in disguise: unclear priorities, inconsistent expectations, and decisions that aren’t translating into day-to-day behaviour. Coaching builds the habits that make process improvements hold under pressure.
How do you tailor recommendations to industries common in Indianapolis?
We ground our approach in how local businesses typically operate—manufacturing and distribution throughput, healthcare service coordination, and sales-to-delivery handoffs for service firms—then translate that into workable KPIs, rhythms, and accountability.

What business owners say about us
I had the pleasure of meeting Jani last night when he made a presentation at Langley Elks.
Very knowledgeable and lots of information ...
I had a consultation session with Jani, and it was a great experience. He provided clear, practical strategies tailored to my business and shared valuable markting insignts. I appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and honest advice.
I've been struggling with how to grow my voice-over business and Jani was able to show me a path past several roadblocks. Just one call and I have 3 ways I can improve my business today as well as a few specific research topics to look further into. Definitely recommend.
I highly recommend Modern Marks Business Consultants. I had a great telephone consultation with Jani covering ideas for customer growth. Building and implementing technology into the business for stream lining things that I am not as proficient at.
Thank you Jani I am excited to get started and implement the things we discussed.

Signed up for the Essential package with Modern Marks specifically to tighten up my sales process, and it’s made a real difference. Instead of feeling pushy or scripted, I now have a natural, step-by-step way to talk to potential customers that actually builds trust. We worked through common objections together — like pricing pushback — so I’m no longer caught off guard on calls. My close rate has noticeably improved, and I feel far more confident going into every conversation.
Beyond sales, Jani also helped me clean up my operations — we built simple checklists for the everyday tasks that used to only live in my head, which made it so much easier to stay organized and consistent. One-on-one sessions are practical and specific to my business, not generic advice. Thank you, Jani, for giving me the tools and the confidence to close deals the right way and run things more smoothly behind the scenes. Highly recommend if you want to stop guessing on sales calls. Thanks for everything, Jani!
I just had a phone call with Jani, and it was fantastic.
As someone in the renovation industry, I’ve always found it difficult to trust business coaches because it’s easy to assume they won’t fully understand the unique challenges of running a construction company. I’m really glad I gave Jani the opportunity.
Even without a construction background, Jani quickly identified gaps in my systems and processes, asked the right questions, and provided practical advice that gave me a much clearer path forward. His ability to understand my business and pinpoint areas for improvement was genuinely impressive.
If you’re looking for a business coach who can help you build better systems, improve operations, and scale your business with confidence, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jani.
