Today we’d like to introduce you to Charlie Duran.
Hi Charlie, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I launched StartDME in 2020 with the goal of helping people build their own DME businesses. What began as a simple idea quickly revealed a challenge: there was very little reliable information available online about how to get started in this industry. That gap inspired me to pivot and position myself as a consultant—offering the knowledge, tools, and guidance needed to help others successfully establish and grow their own DME companies.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
For the most part, it’s been smooth road so far. I do have competition in this industry and that sometimes becomes a challenge to do better for my clients. Often times I found myself wanting to quit and sell the business but I kept pressing on and pursuing the challenge. I’m a very competitive person and I don’t give up very easy. I think that perseverance set me up for the success I’ve had with my business.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
START DME specializes in providing business consulting services for entrepreneurs who aspire to launch their own DME companies. What truly sets us apart is the depth of industry knowledge and firsthand experience we bring to every client relationship. Having navigated the same challenges my clients are likely to encounter, I’m able to guide them with clarity, foresight, and excellence.
One of the aspects I am most proud of is the strength of my brand name—START DME. Its simplicity and clarity not only resonate with entrepreneurs but also make it easy to find online. In fact, many clients have reached out to me solely because the name stood out to them, reflecting both the purpose and professionalism of my work.
At its core, START DME is more than a consulting service—it is a trusted partner for entrepreneurs, offering guidance shaped by real experience and delivered with a commitment to excellence.
