01 / WHAT WE DO

A fresh look.
A useful solution.

Every business works differently. We start with yours: where time gets lost, what holds you back, and which opportunities are worth exploring.

BUILT AROUND SMALL BUSINESS

Practical advice.
Hands-on help.

From understanding a problem to testing an idea and helping implement it, we work with you to find a next step that fits.

See how we work

Where could your business work better?

  • Simplify everyday work.Improve processes such as customer intake, scheduling, follow-up, and team handoffs.
  • Put useful tools to work.Explore simple tools and automation that reduce repeated tasks and help information stay organized.
  • Explore new revenue opportunities.Consider new services, offers, or ways to reach customers—and how to test whether they fit.

These are starting points. The solution depends on your priorities, resources, and what we learn together.

An email. An idea. A clear choice.

01

Start a conversation.

We reach out by email to local businesses where we see a possible fit. You can also contact us directly—no formal brief needed.

02

Find the right problem.

You tell us what's difficult, how you handle it today, and what you'd like to improve. Together, we choose one focused idea to explore.

03

See an early version.

We develop a small prototype—a first version of a tool, process, or concept—and email a walkthrough so you can see how it could help.

04

Decide what comes next.

Tell us what works and what you'd change. If you want to continue, we discuss revisions, implementation, and pricing. You can also pause or end the conversation.

A prototype is something to review, not a finished system. We agree on scope and pricing before any paid work begins.

You don't need to know the solution yet.

02 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND K2X

Meet Timothy & Olivia.

We're the husband-and-wife team behind K2X Solutions, a consulting firm based in Chicago. We work with local small businesses to make everyday work easier and explore opportunities to grow.

We start by listening, develop an idea you can react to, and shape the next steps with you. Reach either of us directly to start the conversation.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before we talk.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

We focus on small businesses in the Chicago area, across industries. Whether your challenge involves daily operations, a tool that isn't working for you, or an idea for a new offering, we'll talk through whether we can help.

What will the prototype look like?

It depends on the problem. It might be a simple working tool, an example of a better process, or a mockup of a new service or offer. We include an explanation of what it demonstrates, its limits, and what implementation would involve.

When do we discuss pricing?

Once you've reviewed the initial concept, we discuss whether to refine or implement it and what that work would cost. We agree on scope, fees, and any ongoing tool costs before paid work starts. Reviewing a concept doesn't commit you to a project.

What if the idea isn't right for us?

Tell us what misses the mark. We can discuss a different direction, changes to the concept, or simply end the conversation. There's no obligation to continue.

Do we need new software to get started?

No. We start with your existing tools and how your team works. Sometimes a clearer process is enough; when a new tool makes sense, we discuss the costs and tradeoffs with you.
