Dr. Jim Morrow/Morrow Family Medicine

Morrow Family Medicine is a state of the art family medicine practice that utilizes the latest in technology combined with old-fashioned care. They are “bringing care back to healthcare” in Milton and Cumming. With easy appointments, a morning walk-in hour and online access to medical information, they offer the access to care and to your information that patients deserve and expect. They accept most insurances and have the lowest self-pay rates in the area. They think you will agree… this is the way healthcare SHOULD be! Established by Dr. James Morrow in 1998, Morrow Family Medicine quickly became a “go-to” practice for Forsyth County residents due to its open-access policy, same-day appointments and popular morning walk-in hour.

Kimberly Graver/E-Transform

The team at E-Transform began with one simple goal in mind; to revolutionize the call center business. So many of us had seen business done the wrong way, and they have set out to change it. They are proactive, instead of reactive. Their internal corporate culture reflects the way they do business – with respect, communication, and a positive and energetic attitude. This successful model has transferred to their other related lines of service as well. They like “e” words. One of their favorites is execution. They truly believe that the secret to a successful business model is exceptional execution, all the time. And that is what E-Transform gives you. They push ourselves to go the extra mile, provide the same level of service they want to receive, and think out-of-the-box by providing flexible pricing models.

Andy Jordan/Milton Business Alliance

The Milton Business Alliance was established to “promote and maintain….a positive commercial environment in which existing and future Milton businesses can thrive”. Their objectives include “promoting the economic development of the City of Milton through the maximization of commercial infrastructure, to encourage the locating of businesses within the City environs and to assist and support the businesses and business persons who are located in the City of Milton”. In a recent board strategy session it was determined that MBA’s “driving force” is service to businesses in Milton with a primary goal of promoting Milton businesses. This includes helping members win more business, advocating for local businesses when necessary, serving as a voice for business with a civic presence, networking for business growth, building relationships with other local business leaders and partnering with the City of Milton to advance general business interests. Ultimately they would like to build the ranks of MBA into a thriving group of local business owners or operators and residents that support business in our community.

Billy Gazdik/The Barter Company

The Barter Company has established itself as the leading force in the barter industry throughout the Southeast with offices in Georgia and Florida. The Barter Company provides businesses with an alternative currency network by using barter dollars instead of cash to handle transactions. The Barter Company actively manages the network with highly skilled trade coordinators making the barter experience simple and smooth. The benefits of B2B barter include improved cash flow and cost savings by minimizing the cash outlay for everyday business expenses and helps bring new customers and increased market share. Today, barter plays an important role in the payments industry with businesses incorporating it into their system along with cash, credit, virtual payments, and loyalty cards. The Barter Company offers clients an app available for iPhones, iPad, and Android that allows them to search for the nearest participating barter clients. Each client of The Barter Company receives a “barter card” that many clients accept and swipe just like a credit or debit card. In addition to managing the B2B barter network, The Barter Company acts as a third-party records keeper and provides clients with monthly statements that reflect all barter purchases, sales, and current barter dollar balance.
