QUOTABLE:  “SEFP has been a vital part of making a dream and

aspiration become reality.  I originally became acquainted with SEFP

in 2005 when I looked at purchasing a commercial bakery.  Though the

project never materialized, they were a valuable source of information

and assistance.  Therefore, contacting SEFP following the purchase of

the present facility seemed logical.  As before they were excellent in

adding structure and fleshing out the details of my vision.  The countless

hours of guidance and support during both completion of a business plan

and the day to day activities of starting a business have been immeasurable.”
