About Custom Business Services

Custom Business Services is devoted to promoting financial awareness and economic opportunities for the Central New York community through a series of convergent channels. Our mission is simple. A strong community is built on having the information, education, and foundation that it needs to sustain itself. We are concerned with providing something for every economic challenge or condition. Our programs are geared toward answering the questions, opening the doors, and providing the opportunities that hold you back from financial prosperity. This is taking a big picture approach to the way a community defines its own success.


Channel One – The Co-op

Located in The Grant Ave Plaza on Rt. 5 west of Auburn, Custom Business Services is the home of our facility. The Co-op is a membership of small businesses that work together to provide the most comprehensive level of professional service to their customers while enjoying the benefits of shared marketing, expense, and overhead buying power. Co-op members are able to present themselves in a professional and commercial atmosphere at only a fraction of the cost of independent locations. Click here to learn more about membership.

Channel Three – Educational Seminars and Courses

In the spirit of our cause, we have developed a series of educational programs dedicated to answering questions that will help make you financially stronger. We focus strictly on education with a topic for literally every adult age group and on every hot financial or business-related topic. Let us make you business savvy whether you own a business or not. Don’t let a day go by that you don’t learn something that will put or keep a dollar in your pocket. Click here to view our Event and Class schedule.
