suitcase provider
 n.โ€” ยซThe vast majority of these are very smallโ€”in many cases, one-person enterprises or, in the vernacular, “suitcase providers.”…The traditional view is that a “suitcase provider” is a bad thing because it implies someone who is a fly-by-night. Usually, though, they are people who have worked in a profession for many years and provide training through mentoring and coaching.ยป โ€”โ€œThe Skills Supermarket Thatโ€™s Virtually Everywhere” by Jim Freeman Biz-Community (Cape Town, South Africa) Oct. 10, 2007.
