The people behind XCEND Group don't think of their business as small, at least not in the way it does business.
"We like to think our firm as a small business with a big-business mentality," Schoenherr says.
Looking at the three founders explains why. The all spent years working for big corporations before striking out on their own four years ago, creating an IT management and consulting firm.
The Brighton-based company now employs 20 people and takes in millions of dollars in revenue each year. Schoenherr expects that growth to continue in 2009. The company is aiming for more than $10 million in revenue and adding about a dozen people to its payroll.
"It's very aggressive but we're trying to be careful at the same time," Schoenherr says. "It's the only way we can hit our revenue target."
