An outstanding experience with the representative

I had an absolutely outstanding experience with the representative. From the very start, it felt like someone genuinely cared about us and our situation. For the first time in ages, I didn’t feel like just another statistic or a checkbox. The representative went above and beyond to provide support, guidance, and reassurance throughout the process. Their professionalism, empathy, and dedication were remarkable. They took the time to understand our needs and made everything feel personal and tailored, which is rare these days. Thanks to their efforts, what could have been a stressful experience turned into something smooth and positive. I cannot recommend the representative highly enough – they are a true credit to their profession and an absolute star!

My advisor was outstanding

My advisor was outstanding, always in my corner. They explained everything clearly and truly advocated for me! My loan took a bit longer than expected, but the advisor was always reassuring and provided detailed explanations! I couldn’t recommend them or the service more!

Takes time when you're not prepared

Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our admin team and business manager were incredibly helpful, providing plenty of advice and support. The initial paperwork is quite extensive, but if you organize yourself and have your business plan ready, it all works out. Thank you so much! Our journey begins now. :)

Extremely disappointing experience

I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with this service has been so disheartening that I feel compelled to warn others. What was promised as a 4–6 week support process turned into 16 weeks of silence, delays, and confusion. My advisor repeatedly took 15–20 days to respond, often asking for the same documents I had already provided, clearly indicating that my application was not being read or handled properly. Despite submitting a full business plan, financials, supplier agreements, and trading history, there was no meaningful engagement or real support. Even worse, my project was poorly represented to the lender, leaving me feeling completely ignored. Throughout this process, I acted professionally, met every deadline, and provided every requested document immediately. Yet I was met with indifference and a sense that my application was being overlooked without accountability. This experience has not only wasted months of my time but has also affected my business operations, suppliers, and growth plans. Startups rely on momentum, and this process did the opposite: it drained my momentum, motivation, and trust in a system that claims to support founders. If this is the level of support offered, aspiring entrepreneurs deserve far better. No founder should feel invisible while trying to build something meaningful.
