Client Testimonials
The 1% Guy Tampa Bay, Valrico
Brad [Florida SBDC consultant] was very instrumental in helping us navigate through the Covid-19 pandemic and helped us with applying for PPP and SBA loans to get us through the disaster.

Karen Krymski was a lifesaver. Because of her, I was able to learn about the EIDL loan and how to gain access to lenders for the PPP loan as well. She was very knowledgeable and easy to speak with and made me feel this program actually works. Karen is the best business consultant I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with from the Florida SBDC.
