I opened my small take-out restaurant “Kabob Grill N Go” in the middle of a global pandemic in May of 2020. I cannot describe all my fears and difficulties that I went through during this time; for example when I couldn’t get any assistance or help from any programs just because I opened after March 2020. I was blessed when I met Laura from WBA, who not only listened to all my problems regarding my business, but helped me find the right program. Now my business can grow and bring even more to this amazing community. Thank you Laura.

I would like to say thank you to Laura Suarez and Prestamos WBC team. First of all, if it wasn’t for her, I would still be “trying to figure out” how to file an LLC. Miss Laura helped guide me through the process of filling for my small business. She went over and beyond, she explained the process and certain jargon, that I simply did not understand because this world of small business is new to me. I never knew such services existed. I’m so grateful to know our community has these types of resources available to small businesses. I will definitely let all my small business friends know about “Prestamos WBC”. Laura thank you so much for your help. It’s greatly appreciated!
