Essential Business Services: The Start


Our History

In 1985, Essential Business Services was incorporated by Christie Schmidt as a home-based business to aid individuals and other small businesses with administrative, word processing, and bookkeeping needs. During this time, personal computer ownership and software knowledge were low, and companies were just launching into the technology age. The timing was perfect for an administrative support company to emerge into the market.

EBS grew out of its home office after just 2 years, moving into its first executive office suite in Roseville. In 2011, EBS expanded again into its current office space in Saint Paul, MN. Most impressively, EBS grew on client referrals alone, without any paid advertising! Even to this day, the majority of EBS's clients continue to come through referrals.

How times have changed since 1985! In this age of technology, if you don't own a computer or are not utilizing technology to make your life and business more productive, you are behind the times! EBS has continued to evolve with the market, though still providing necessary services, such as data entry and administrative support. They expanded their services to include full accounting/bookkeeping services, business consulting, HR support, and then most recently, added website design and search engine optimization.

From bookkeeping to administrative services, Essential Business Services has all your solutions!
