A Testimonial to our Business Consulting Services
“Working with The Loan Fund helped me develop my business plan, ideas, and brand before getting started so that I was prepared to open a successful business when I received my loan. In the year and a half that The Supper Truck has been open, I’ve remained in ongoing contact with The Loan Fund loan officer and business counselor for advice for my business, which has been immensely helpful in finding profitability and success.”
