Success Stories

Rated as "Outstanding"

by our customers

"YESSSSS! You were a huge part of the success of receiving the SBA loan we received. You helped us, first, clean up our act by bringing to our attention: to raise our prices, to make the P&L not a tax document but a management decision making document, to cut expenses which we did with 1000 small cuts in every department, we harnessed technology and automated manufacturing to the point a large client said ‘I had no idea you were this big and had the capabilities.’ By getting fundamentals aligned, which took over a year, it allowed the SBA to confidently provide a loan. Additionally, rolling the high interest shark loans into lower interest loans The SBA loan (which yes, we pay on time!) helped our cash flow tremendously. Because we had a good record with the SBA loan, Alpha was a good candidate to receive an $157,000 PPP loan. Seacoast Bank, SBA loan bank, actually called us and helped Alpha with the application which we received funding on the first round of PPP funding. Thank you for helping us and I am looking forward to working more in the future. "

“Being able to bounce ideas off her, and really get a good third perspective for things has helped us a lot, and kept things moving in a positive direction. It’s been almost like she’s another member of the team. I don’t think there’s ever been a time when we’ve met with her, that we’ve come out of there without pages of notes, learning something new and adjusting. She’s been very helpful! Every day we get to learn and to adjust, and that’s something the military did teach us was to adjust and keep evolving. So whether something good or something bad comes our way, we make the best of it, and learn and move forward and do better.”
