Sezhel LLC: Excellence in Business Consulting

Insider Weekly has recognized Durham-based Sezhel LLC with its prestigious Excellence in Business Consulting award, highlighting the firm’s remarkable impact on the regional small business ecosystem.

Founded by Camila Hargett, MBA, Sezhel LLC has quickly established itself as a vital partner for entrepreneurs and small businesses across North Carolina’s Triangle region. In just its first year of operation, the boutique consulting firm supported over 60 businesses with services ranging from business formation and strategic planning to data analytics and operational consulting.

“I started Sezhel because I saw too many brilliant business owners stuck at the starting line, simply because they didn’t have access to clear guidance or someone to believe in their dream with them,” says Hargett. “We bring strategy, yes—but we also bring heart.”

The name “Sezhel” draws inspiration from the Hebrew word Sechel, embodying the principles of intelligence, wisdom, and common sense that guide the firm’s approach to business consulting. This philosophy resonates deeply with clients who frequently describe the Sezhel team not merely as consultants but as genuine collaborators who “listen with compassion and respond with clarity.”

The award comes at a time when Durham’s entrepreneurial landscape is flourishing. The city has transformed from an economy once centered on tobacco and textiles to becoming what CNBC has dubbed the “Startup Capital of the South,” with over 275 startups supported by resources like American Underground and a robust network of business development programs.

One client testimonial captures the essence of Sezhel’s impact: “Camila helped me take an idea I had scribbled in a notebook and turn it into a profitable business. She believed in me when I didn’t know how to believe in myself.”

What sets Sezhel apart in the competitive consulting landscape is its mission-driven approach. The firm specializes in guiding entrepreneurs through every phase of business development, from registering a new LLC to developing market-entry strategies, optimizing business models, and preparing financial forecasts.

Durham County offers numerous resources for small businesses, including grant programs, technical assistance, and networking opportunities through organizations like the Durham Small Business Collaboration. Within this ecosystem, Sezhel has carved out a distinctive niche by combining technical expertise with a deeply personal commitment to client success.

As Sezhel continues to grow, it remains focused on building a legacy of entrepreneurial empowerment, particularly for underserved business communities in the region. The Excellence in Business Consulting award affirms the firm’s rising influence as a trusted resource for small business owners navigating the challenges of growth, structure, and sustainability.

For entrepreneurs seeking guidance on starting or scaling their ventures, Sezhel Consulting represents not just a service provider, but a strategic partner invested in long-term success and values-based leadership. By Insider Weekly.
