Success Stories

Malibu Fashions and Posh II

The assistance of the SBDC was very timely. With the guidance of Cy Cerro we were able to apply for both the PPP and EIDL. These funds were very important as we faced the prolonged shut down during the COVID lockdown. Having the ability to receive the EIDL allowed us to paydown and maintain current accounts payable. The results were that we were able to successfully maintain our 127-year-old business and actually increased sales by approximately $21,500. The SBDC resources were instrumental in our success.
