Becky came to the SBDC in October 2013 seeking guidance in starting up The Paseo. She wanted to purchase or build a wedding venue and was seeking financing.

The SBDC advisors initially helped Becky with her business plan and obtaining financing. Once the venue was under construction, the SBDC helped Becky with the preparation and launch of the venue, operations processes, marketing plan, budgeting, financial forecasting, obtaining additional funding, and goal tracking and completion.

“We would not be where we are without the SBDC. Mentors helped us from the very beginning when we were writing our business plan and they have led us to the amazing success we are currently enjoying. We continue to rely on the expertise and support of our counselor through the changes and growth that we are experiencing. It is so motivating and comforting to have the SBDC behind us.”

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Becky over the last couple years! She is always prepared for our meetings and excited to work on her business.”
