Success Stories

I was given SEDCO’s name through my legacy big bank because they couldn’t or rather wouldn’t handle my 2nd PPP. First I met, via on line, Michael and he was so attentive and led me to Kathy McGinnis.
She always answered my questions, any missing information, she was right there to guide me and my CPA. Call backs were the same day. You’d think this is standard, but its not and doesn’t go unnoticed, especially when it comes to your business. So big kudos to the team and highly recommended.

“They supplied the capital we needed to help us expand our operation and grow our business with the purchase of a new facility. The low-down payment assistance made it so we could maintain our cash flow and have additional money for our move. Everyone was timely in their effort and got the deal done on time.”
— Nick Schriver, Decorating Elves
I was just telling my husband how absolutely wonderful the SBA and you are to work with.  Not only during this pandemic – in which SBA provided us with so many free months of payments – but from the time we started doing business with you.  Every one of my crazy questions has been approached professionally and with kindness.

I brag about SBA (and you) whenever friends ask how we are weathering the pandemic.  My husband and I would have made it but the input from SBA (hope, constant contact, free monthly payments, EIDL, PPP and RRF) allowed us to breathe when many others were holding their breaths.

 Thank you for all you’ve done for us!

“SEDCO took the time to understand our business and our specific needs.  Our situation was unique and the team at SEDCO rolled up their sleeves to create a situation which worked for everyone. I refer everyone looking for SBA financing to SEDCO because they get it!”
— Tom Williams, St. Pete Brewery Company
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that without the help of SEDCO our new St. Petersburg project would not exist.  This is an organization that truly helps locally owned small businesses succeed.  We look forward to working with them again soon on our next climbing facility.”
— Hal Thureson, Vertical Ventures

“SEDCO guided our company to achieve approval for our SBA 504 loan. The loan allowed us to purchase our land and building in a very competitive rental market. The entire staff was friendly, efficient, and informative.”
— Tre Gillette, Tuckaway Cafe
