" “It has been a real pleasure working with Jim and the SBDC. With their help and guidance, we were able to navigate the PPP program and were one of the first to be funded in the Salinas area. This relieved a lot of pressure and truly allowed us to focus on building new business, during these unprecedented times. We also received word that our application for the EIDL program has been accepted and we are now on the list to discuss future loan opportunities with the SBA.”
