Success Stories
Client Testimonials
Align Chiropractic Day Spa, Spring Hill
Mr. Burnham [Florida SBDC consultant] was quite helpful to me while I was trying to acquire a PPP loan during the pandemic. Mr. Burnham continues to be a help to me and my business, as I can go to him and ask questions regarding any aspect of my business. I don’t know that I would’ve been able to complete the task without his help. Thank you.

Bill [Florida SBDC consultant] helped me locate a bank that was willing to work with a small PPP loan at a time when the business was generating no income and I had no options with unemployment to provide income for myself. His encouragement and resources allowed me to stay committed to maintaining the business and ultimately growing the business through a lot of uncertainty.
