TICDC hooked us up with a good business planner. [They] gave us a loan, helped us to consolidate some other loans, and gave us the leg up that we needed to get the ball rolling. It was a very good experience applying for the loan. Great people to work with, super supportive, and probably one of the easiest processes I've ever been through.
