Reaching out and establishing a working relationship with a SCKEDD representative early was instrumental in staying abreast with the evolving small business disaster assistance programs for the COVID-19 pandemic. The two-way exchange of information and the responsiveness to unending questions was invaluable in achieving timely pursuit of specific programs and early submittal.

As a single female business owner, securing the right resources and support was crucial to turning my dream into a reality. SCKEDD believed in my vision and helped provide the funding I needed to open my second HOTWORX studio. Their support didn’t just help launch my business — it empowered me to thrive and expand. I’m proud to be part of a community that champions entrepreneurs and makes business ownership more accessible.

Starting GooD LiFE Golf Lab wouldn’t have been possible without the support of SCKEDD. From day one, they made the funding process smooth, approachable, and tailored to my needs. They were also instrumental in connecting with GrowKS to help fulfill the final piece of funding I needed to bring our vision to life. I am so grateful for their partnership and support!

Starting our business was a dream made possible through a combination of financing and invaluable guidance. SCKEDD provided us with a critical loan that gave us the foundation we needed. We also relied on our landlord-tenant improvement allowance and our own invested funds. Because of this, we were able to bring our vision to life.
