"I didn't have a guide when I started. I learned the hard way — in the military, in logistics, in businesses that failed and in others that worked. I founded Avansa to be the resource I never had."

My name is Mauricio Ramirez. I'm a Colombian-American entrepreneur, Army veteran, and the founder of Avansa Solutions based in San Antonio, Texas.

My path wasn't a straight line. I built a successful Amazon e-commerce business that generated real results — until the brand I represented restricted marketplace sales and I had to close it. I also owned and operated a short-term rental property in Colombia, which I successfully sold and reinvested the proceeds into the stock market. I've managed logistics for major retailers, served over ten years in the U.S. Army, and consulted on financial systems through Intuit QuickBooks as a business advisor. Every experience — including the doors that closed — gave me something books can't: real, hard-won perspective.

I'm not just one service. I'm a partner who helps you find the right professionals, technology, and resources to move your business forward.

• I understand your world — literally

Fully bilingual (English and Spanish), with hands-on experience across the U.S. and Latin America. I understand the cultural and operational nuances that most advisors miss.

• I only grow when you grow

I'm not interested in one-off transactions. I'm here to build long-term partnerships where your success is the measure of mine.

Whether you need help sourcing private commercial capital, executing a financial clean-up for loan file underwriting, streamlining your daily virtual operations, or authenticating public records for international use, or simply figuring out what your next step should be — I'll help you find the path forward. And if the solution is someone else, I'll connect you to the right person. That's what a real partner does.

I work with entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals — who are ready to take their next step.
