THEY SAID IT...

I’ve found the help tremendously impactful during a very crazy and uncertain time. Thank you for the work you guys do there. I wish more people knew what a treasure the Kentucky SBDC is.

Kim EstesEC3 Apparel & Promotions - Versailles, KY

We ended up getting a PPP loan and a small business low interest rate loan from our banker…I am so grateful to you [Kentucky SBDC at NKU] as you steered us in the right direction.

Jackie FischerCEO, Dental Arts Lab - Edgewood, KY

The SBDC was exceptionally helpful in connecting us to important resources and information when the pandemic hit. The coaches were so knowledgeable, professional, and personable. We are so grateful for their help.

LeAnn VaughnMental Health and Wellness Center, LLC - Nicholasville, KY

The SBDC made a big difference when it came to starting my business, helping me write my business plan, and understanding the numbers. The coaches then assisted me with research, reviewing my social media, and even now by coming out to see my shop and answering questions that I had about business expenses. I still go back and read the emails to help keep me on track with things I still need to do!

Megan FanoGrow BG Blooms & Gardens - Bowling Green, KY

The Small Business Development Center was very helpful to us in terms of preparing our business plan, our pitch deck to go out and get investments, and also engagement in the community.

Larry WilliamsAviation Safety Resources - Nicholasville, KY

The Kentucky SBDC helped me out tremendously. I probably wouldn’t be where I’m at today without Sam Coleman. He helped me get my business plan ready and find financing for my business. Sam is a great asset to my company. He’s been a great coach!

Allen JonesTotal Auto Service - Harlan, KY

When we went to the Small Business Development Center and talked to them at the very beginning, we needed to move quickly… They were able to help us with issues of financing and marketing.

We met with Toni at the Small Business Development Center multiple times. She was very upfront with what she thought would work and what she thought wouldn’t, which was immensely helpful.

Dr. Kate BakerVeterinary Cytology Schoolhouse - Louisville, KY

It was like we were drowning and someone threw us a buoy, and that buoy was the Kentucky Small Business Development Center, and that’s exactly why we’re here right now.

Christy ClarkMammy’s Kitchen - Bardstown, KY

I’m extremely grateful to the Kentucky SBDC for helping me get to this point!! Helping me map out the next few years and set goals gives me confidence in this next walk of life!!! If any of you plan to open your own business, Lee Goatley at the Kentucky SBDC is your girl!!

Melanie RansdellMelanie On Main - Owenton, KY

I highly recommend the Kentucky SBDC, they are a great resource for my business and especially during the Covid crisis. They have connected me with SBA resources and answered many questions. There is no better partner for a small business.

Gwyn EverlyJ. Render’s Southern Table and Bar

The folks at the SBDC have been fantastic at helping us figure out our business accounting. They are professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Our business would not be where we are without their help and we could not be more grateful.

Matthew PavelekPresident/CEO, NaVOBA - Lexington, KY

Please give my regards to the Kentucky SBDC team for an outstanding presentation. I appreciate these valuable tools that you make available to us; especially the worksheets, slides, and even a replay of the webinar. Thank you so very much. You are helping so many people and I couldn’t be prouder to be a Kentuckian!

Stuart C. MelvinTri-state Cold-Formed Steel - Shepherdsville, KY

I mean this from the bottom of my heart. The SBA and the Kentucky Small Business Development Center resources have made all the difference in our success. I will be forever grateful!

Rhonda HatfieldBlue Halo Med Spa - Louisville, KY

The SBDC has always be a tremendous asset to KY small business, but I have to say the work they have been putting in during this most recent economic crisis is absolutely incredible! I cannot thank the staff that has literally worked non-stop since the CARES idea was first floated and are still working today to try and keep KY business owners informed and empowered to make the best decisions out of all the options available. I am personally forever grateful.

Nathan WinkleThoroughbred Aviation, LLC - Lexington, KY

The reality is, you and your team provide a valuable service to those of us who are doing our best to keep our businesses and the economic foundation of small business open, educated and thriving during this uncertainty. I thank you all for the foundational work you provide us entrepreneurs as we work with blinders of the uncertain future. Trusting hard work and assistance from others provides a path to continue providing jobs and services to families affected by this pandemic. I wanted you and your team to know you are appreciated and it is comforting to know help is there when we need it.

Andy KerseyHamlin & Kersey - Corbin, KY

Words cannot express how grateful and thankful I am for my SBDC and Mr. Arnold. He has been a guiding light to help me sort out the business aspects of my restaurant. He coached me on my marketing strategy and provided invaluable feedback. He has been my champion throughout this process!
