Small business consulting

At Harms and Humans, we understand that small businesses face unique challenges in ensuring product safety and compliance. Whether you’re a maker, retailer, or service provider, our testing services are designed to help you protect your customers, meet regulatory requirements, and build trust in your brand.

Why Heavy Metal Testing Matters for Small Businesses

Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury can be found in a surprising range of products, often without your knowledge. These toxins pose health risks to consumers and can result in product recalls, fines, or reputational damage if not properly managed.

We help you identify and mitigate these risks, ensuring your business thrives in a competitive market.
