Testimonials
“Working with Spencer has had an incalculable impact on my business and its success. His guidance, resources, and experience have helped guide me on many paths I otherwise would not have known to take and ways of working and thinking that have set me and my business up with a solid foundation and primed for growth.“

“Working with Valley Sierra SBDC has been integral in helping us overcome obstacles. We’ve leaned on Valley Sierra SBDC mostly to help us in HR for our business. Lourdes has been absolutely amazing, and she is quick to respond when we have any questions.”
Brett Weitl
“Tim Douglas helped me understand my loan with the previous PURA VIDA business owner, to negotiate my loan payoff, and to assist me with the application for an SBA 7A loan to pay off the original loan. I would enthusiastically recommend SBDC services to any starting or existing business facing the challenges of today’s pandemic economy.”
