“As first timers at acquiring a business loan, we were referred to Eddie for guidance in reviewing the financial portion of our business plan.

Eddie offered insight into ALL aspects of our business plan, resulting in securing an SBA loan through Main Street Launch.

Eddie was not only a wealth of knowledge for us, his excellent listening skills led to keen insights delivering exactly what we needed to accomplish our goal.

Thanks again for your support!!”
