A-005 About

A certified operator, building for certified operators.

Great Breads Studio is the New York studio of its founder and CEO, Mark Riley. It builds the system certified contractors and service businesses run their business on, and it runs on that system itself. Everything else it does, brand, web and public-sector work, ships in service of the system.

A-005.1 The path

Every system carries where its builder has been.

Car sales, a bank, a public defender’s office, a prosecutor’s office and a surveillance desk. Every one of them ran on paperwork that had to be right, and understood, before anyone signed it. That is the job AsBuilt does for a business.

A-005.2 The Inheritance

Why the legal name still says Clothing.

Great Breads began in Harlem in 2006 as a fourteen-year-old’s clothing line. In 2016 his grandmother bought the LLC and gave it a legal structure; she passed six months later. The purchase is the founding document, and the name stays: Great Breads Clothing, LLC, d/b/a Great Breads Studio. It is why the studio builds systems ahead of need, for whoever inherits them.
