“Without the help of Dan at WITCC, it would have been difficult and/or expensive to get my business underway...I am grateful to Dan and the SBDC for allowing me the opportunity for success.” -  Jennifer M.

“Without the SBDC, and specifically the help of Dan Wubbena, I would still be working for someone else. He believed in me and my idea when no one else did, provided direction and sound advice, and has been a mentor and resource throughout the life and growth of my business.” -  Terry A.

“I don't feel I would have had the courage to do this if I didn't have Dan Wubbena to help guide me!” -  Wendy W.

“In my mind, my business concept looked a bit cookie-cutter. Until I met with the SBDC, I had no idea what a niche I had with this business opportunity.” -  Peggy K.

“Although it may seem like financing can be challenging when you are young, a woman, or a minority, there are programs out there to help you if you put the work into it. Being in my mid-twenties and trying to sell my “dream” to a bank with no real assets, plus being denied over and over got extremely frustrating. Without my TSB certification and help from Dan at the SBDC, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to expand my business to what it is today.” -  Allison S.

“Without the assistance of the SBDC, our dream would not have happened.” -  Ron E.

“The SBDC helped me get the ball rolling to find financing to get our trailer and the Nano-Loan helped me buy additional equipment and paid the entry fees for our first event. We appreciate all the SBDC did for us in making our business a reality.” -  Mike O.
