Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Helen Keller

ABOUT US
 

Self Investment Company was founded in 1985 by Sumner Davenport as a source for entrepreneurs who were investing in their dreams.

In 1994, Self-Investment began it's new life and journey as a LLC, attracting members of various professions to provide services to entrepreneurs and start up businesses. As many entrepreneurs enter the new arena with the experience and knowledge of an employee, we found a niche to educate and assist. We began working together with new entrepreneurs when they needed a business plan in order to launch their businesses and/or take it to the next level of success and profit. 

In 1997 we expanded our services to include Entrepreneur Education, bringing together entrepreneurs and educators.  These independent educators are working professionals and who have extensive experience and business success in the areas in which they teach. 

In 1999, Self Investment Company, LLC expanded to include more resources. How a person lives their life, their self esteem, their health, relationships and more, all effect their professional life. Seeing the importance of harmony between personal investment and professional investment, the members team and affiliates was expanded.

Our members team continues to grow as it includes other independent business professionals who provide products and services to encourage and assist individuals to invest in themselves, their health, their dreams and aspirations, their spiritual growth, their career and business, and more. At the same time, we seek out independent resources to fill in the gaps that our members don't supply in order to expand our list of referral sources for our clients. You will find links to these team members, affiliates and associates throughout our website.
