One business he co-founded started from scratch and employed 75 people when he sold to his partners.Three of the six businesses remain in existence and only one went belly up.

Welsh has been an advocate for small business and entrepreneurism since 1979, almost two years before co-founding his first business. That was his focus when he served on the Board of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. He served on the Small Business Public Relations Committee and chaired Small Business Brain Exchange. Welsh was a founding Board member of the Metropolitan Entrepreneurs Council with people like Neil Patterson, co-founder of Cerner, and Marvin Manlove, a founding principal 360 Architecture. Welsh has testified before state legislatures on small business issues.
