Elizabeth comments, “I was looking for a start-up loan for a new business, the idea for which I’d had for several years.  We had a meeting for about two hours where we went over the facts and numbers.  I received exactly what I asked  for. It was speedy, accurate and straight-forward.  Mark was superb: he was flexible, knowledgeable and effective. Working with him was like having an informed mentor – he knew what to do, and the best way forward.  From when we met to the finish (when the money was in the bank) was less than a month. I certainly recommend him.”
