What people are saying.

  • "All Day Companies have helped us navigate the sometimes confusing and overwhelming government rules and regulations. We have worked with them to submit and receive our SBA 8(a) Certification, and they have provided us with tools and resources to grow our business that we never would have found otherwise."

    • Joe Reznicek, President, Dimensional Experts

  • "We had the pleasure of working with Annie from the moment we decided we needed a new location for our building. Not only did she help us find a site, but she handled the land negotiation, city applications, wetland delineation and identified three different incentive programs that provided us over $1.4MM in financing to help us get our project done. Her involvement saved us many headaches and allowed us to focus on what we do best; running our business. We highly recommend involving All Day Companies from the get-go when you're thinking about expanding or growing your business. Annie is the master of helping herd the cats. Getting government agencies to all get into step in one direction is an art."

    • Dan Bosshart, Preferred Powder Coating

  • "We started working with All Day Companies when we were conceptualizing our new building. Not only were they able to work with the City and County to get us nearly $100,000 in tax abatement, they have also worked with the state to get us nearly $50,000 to train our employees. They took the time to review some new marketing channels we had been neglecting, and their suggestions have already yielded results beyond our expectations. Their knowledge of available programs, incentives and innovative marketing have helped our company grow efficiently and profitably. Their services are an exceptional value."

    • Tom McChesney, UMA Precision Machining

  • “As a Greater Fergus Falls board member and local business owner, I’ve seen firsthand Deckert’s tenacious zeal for recognizing potential and current successes in Fergus Falls. She had the ability to access resources, remove existing barriers, and connect key stakeholders while maintaining the highest level of ethical professionalism. We are proud of Annie for having the competence and drive to rise above difficult situations and deliver the best results no matter the circumstances. Deckert brought development experience, economic knowledge, and business growth insight to the Fergus Falls community and beyond. Her pro-business mentality and entrepreneurial aptitude will continue to push Greater Fergus Falls to succeed even once she is gone. “

    Dr. Tara Kempfer, InVision Eye Care, Greater Fergus Falls Board Member

  • "Growing a family owned and operated small business is full of challenges, and building this new facility was one of them. I credit teaming with All Day Companies for the success of the project."

    • Chuck Heitz, Realtor, formal City Council member

  • "I have known Annie Deckert for the past several years through our work in the Economic Development Association of Minnesota (EDAM). She has had key hands-on experience in economic development projects and management, and has taken leadership roles in various groups and associations. Annie has a very winning style, one that exudes enthusiasm and a can-do spirit in getting things done for the good of business and jobs growth, and community revitalization in Elk River and across the state. She also has a great sense of humor! "

    • Lorrie Louder, Adjunct Economic Development Faculty & Volunteer Career Mentor, Hamline School of Business

  • "I worked with Annie when she led the branding of the City of Elk River. Her grasp of the branding process and her ability to execute the strategy at every level was impressive. But it was her contagious energy, enthusiasm and curiosity which succeeded in winning over the hearts and minds of the elected officials and community leaders. She is a tangible asset to every organization with which she works. "

    • Linda DiMario, Economic Development Consultant

  • "“I have found working with All Day Companies to be one of the best moves I could have made to ensure we would receive the funding necessary to move our project forward (TIF). Annie’s in-depth knowledge of tax increment financing is outstanding. However, the biggest value I found in their services was their ability to explain the inner workings of TIF to city staff and council members to make sure we achieved our goal.”
