The Story

The Journey Behind KMP Business Consulting Inc.

Every business has a story — ours begins with a passion for helping people and organizations thrive. KMP Business Consulting Inc. was founded by Kenneth Mitchell, J.D., M.S., a business law professional and educator who has spent more than 30 years advising leaders, solving problems, and building strong, compliant organizations.

 

Kenneth’s career has spanned a wide range of roles — from Business Transaction Attorney in a premier international law firm to General Counsel, Corporate Compliance Officer, and Vice President of Human Resources in an international tech company, and from compliance strategist to university professor. Throughout that journey, one belief has remained constant:

 

Every organization deserves access to high-quality legal and business expertise — without unnecessary complexity or barriers.

After decades of working inside corporations and guiding future business leaders in higher education, Kenneth recognized a growing need: entrepreneurs and small-to-medium-sized businesses seeking clarity, confidence, and trusted guidance in areas like contracts, compliance, and operational structure.

 

So, he built a firm designed around what clients truly want:

 

  • Practical advice — rooted in real business experience

  • Clear communication — no legal jargon, no confusion

  • Custom solutions — not templates or one-size-fits-all answers

  • A partner they can rely on as their business grows

 

At KMP Business Consulting, Inc. we value integrity, responsiveness, and long-term relationships. Our goal is to help clients prevent issues before they arise, strengthen their operations, and unlock the potential that comes from a solid foundation.

 

Today, Kenneth brings together his passion for teaching, problem-solving, and leadership to empower business owners, startups, and organizations across industries. Whether you’re forming a company, negotiating agreements, building HR policies, or navigating regulatory challenges — we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

 

Because when you’re confident in your business structure and protected from risk, you’re free to focus on what matters most: growing your vision.
