OUR STORY

Hey there, I’m Patrick Arebalo — a father, founder, and passionate believer in building better businesses through smarter strategies.

​

I’ve always admired the Better Business Bureau because of the way it helped companies stay accountable — good or bad. It showed me that integrity, honesty, and doing right by people matters. Early on, it played a role in inspiring me to start my own business, because I knew there were so many good people running good companies who just needed someone to help them be seen. I’ve always believed that if you do good, good will follow — and that principle has guided everything I’ve built.

​

My journey truly took shape during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many people trying to keep sane and grounded, I spent a lot of time walking around my community with my son. What I saw broke my heart — local businesses, some that had been around for decades, shutting down one after another.

Not because their products weren’t good.

Not because people didn’t want what they offered.
But because they didn’t have the digital presence to survive when the world suddenly shifted online.

​

I realized that these businesses didn’t fail — they were failed. Failed by a system that favored big brands and tech-savvy chains. Failed because they didn’t have access to the tools, resources, or people who could guide them through the transition into the digital world.

​

So, I built The Better Business Market — a platform designed to bring modern digital solutions to local businesses that simply need a helping hand. With a background in business administration, marketing, sales strategy, and IT infrastructure, I combined my skills and experience into a mission:

Help good businesses not only stay open — but thrive.

​

I build the digital bridges that help businesses get more business — and I take the time to actually explain what all of it means to the owners I work with.

Today, I support small and mid-sized businesses across Southern California and beyond with things like:

​

• Showing up at the top of Google and Yelp

• Selling their products online without the stress

• Cleaning up digital clutter and outdated systems

• Building a trustworthy, attention-earning brand and so, so, much more!​

​

I’ve been deep in the trenches — managing teams, launching campaigns, training staff, fixing tech issues, building ecommerce platforms, and working side-by-side with store owners and dreamers who simply needed someone who genuinely cared.

​

This isn’t just business to me — it’s personal. Because every time I help a shop stay open, a restaurant fill their tables, or a family business grow online, I know I’m doing exactly what I’m meant to do.

​

The Better Business Market isn’t just a name.
It’s my promise.
