Cake Coquette, San Francisco, CA“I was glad to have connected with Gabriela Sapp. She was very patient with me and helped me understand how important is to keep financial records properly accounted so now I can manage my finances better. I am very thankful that she helped me to develop all the financial reports the lender was asking for so I could secure my loan and hire a baker that I needed for so long.” ~ Gabrielle Feuersinger, owner and operator |

Falcon Learning, Milpitas, CA.We started an enrichment center offering a variety of classes along with an after-school program in Milpitas, CA. We struggled to get enough children since it’s a brand new after-school center. I then approached several banks, which all denied helping me get a loan due to lack of promising revenue from our business. I then called SBA who directed me to Gabriela. I sent her an email to which she promptly responded and then started the process of applying for a loan through SBA. Gabriela immediately realized the chances and found out that there’s one such bank in Florida that can help growing business like ours. Through the entire application process, which is quite tedious, she was extremely patient. In a very professional manner, she walked me through forms and educated me about approaching the various parties involved.She even helped me receive an extension to our lease and mitigated the complications our landlord tried to introduce during the loan process with changes to the bank’s lease requirements. Overall, without Gabriela’s help, we couldn’t have received the loan, and I owe her a lot for working so hard to obtain this very important loan to sustain and grow our business. ~ Rajesh Cheethirala, CEO |
Best in Show, Inc. San Francisco, CA“We own and operate a small retail pet supply store. In addition, we also wholesale some of the products we manufacture for the store. It’s this wholesale business we’ve been trying to get capital to expand. Gabriela helped us obtain this capital and we’re so excited to take the next step in growing our business. Gabriela Sapp offered us counseling on business financing, and whatever we asked advice on, she had a recommendation or a reference for us. When absolutely no one else would give us a loan to help us grow our business, Gabriela was the one who helped us through all the paperwork and the loan process and got us what we needed to help us get to the next step.” ~Richard Shiu and George Freeman |
