Schantel L. Swain, MBA, MHA, PMP, is the CEO and Founder of SLS Business Consulting -Louisiana's Funding Strategy & Government Readiness Firm.

Her expertise spans grant strategy, 501(c)(3) development, SAM.gov registration, certification readiness, and business formation, delivering not just services but strategic positioning.
Her work is rooted in a clear understanding of a critical gap: many businesses fail to secure funding not because of a lack of effort, but because they are not properly structured or prepared.
