Our Story
How NextLevel Solutions came to be
It Started with a Problem
In 2010, founder Alex Thompson noticed a pattern. Small businesses in Virginia Beach had big dreams but struggled to access the same resources and expertise available to larger corporations. Too often, local businesses were stuck with one-size-fits-all solutions that didn’t fit their unique needs or budgets.
What started as consulting for a handful of friends has grown into a full-service firm serving over 200 businesses across Hampton Roads. We’re still that same team that cares deeply about helping our neighbors succeed – just with more tools, experience, and success stories to share.
What We’re Building
We envision a thriving business community where every local entrepreneur has access to world-class expertise without corporate price tags. Our dream is to see Virginia Beach recognized as a hub for innovative, successful small businesses.
We believe business success shouldn’t be reserved for those who can afford big consulting firms. That’s why we’ve built our practice around accessibility, transparency, and genuine partnership with businesses of all sizes.
