Pillow Talk of Paso

Once I had gotten to the point in my business at which I was ready to seek additional financing the EVC, with the help of Dave Mooklar, played an integral part in helping me to secure my small business loan through Mission Community Bank. They have continued to be a support to me in many ways and I am happy to report that I have just passed my one year anniversary and while that was one heck of a year, the future is looking bright thanks to the EVC!

Playtime Discoveries

The EVC was a great help to me, in starting my own business for the first time. It was good to have someone with more business knowledge than myself to share my ideas with and get professional feedback. They helped me think through some of my start-up business decisions and guided me every step of the way. The EVC also bridged the gap between my micro loan and SBA loan with Mission Community Bank.

Violette Wings & Giftey Things

"My name is Kelli Evans and for almost 20 years I dreamed of owning my own gift shop but had all but given up. Circumstances arose that convinced me that it was the right time. I contacted EVC and Dave Mooklar had the ball rolling almost immediately. So on a "wing and a prayer" and a loan from Coast National Bank, I opened "Violette Wings & Giftey Things in Atascadero on November 26, 2010! I am so thankful to Dave Mooklar at EVC for believing in my dream and helping me to secure a loan with Coast National Bank."
