"I'd been turned down twice before finding this site. The quiz told me I was targeting the wrong program entirely — I should have been applying for a USDA B&I loan, not a 7(a). Funded within 90 days."

"The USDA REAP program was one I'd never even heard of. The site walked me through it clearly, I took the quiz, and now we have a 50% grant covering our solar installation. Incredible program."
