Rise

Get great opportunity to run a small business

It’s been quite the journey and RISE has been along side me since I started. They have inspired me to never lose hope and believed in me. Thank you kindly.

MAKE SURE THESE GUYS SUPPORT YOUR INDUSTRY BEFORE APPLYING!These guys claim to help people who have had mental health issues but will drive you to insanityFirst they build your confidence up for the first 5 months(Yeah BTW very long process, hope you don't want to open next week) saying that you have a very strong business plan, a ton of knowledge and great application. They will lie to you and say they are so positive you won't have an issue securing the loan.They will ask you to do a business plan, a whole TON of research that you have to spend your own time and money on, spend time and money traveling to their office for meetings, update your plan a bunch of times because the person helping you CONSTANTLY reschedules appointments or goes on holiday in the middle of the process.Then after 6-7 months of time, money and work with not one but TWO of the same business applying, they make you apply for a retail location for your store and get the process going, delay some more so you are forced to decide to pay the rent and hope you get the loan or lose an amazing location at a great price. (In my case I paid because I had spent a lot of time trying to find a landlord willing to wait for their decision" and they told me a few times I had "such a strong application") To only find out that they decided not to support your industry when they should have not had me do any of that until it was known. (Apparently they had been discussing it for months but yet I was told "not to worry

Very supportive micro-financing and mentorship program.

It's a process but worth the wait and the things to make sure youre prepared on getting the support and help they giving. Patience and trust is what you need when you expiriencing long time of process. Because they just not giving you money to get debt and not able to pay it. Theres a lot of people needing them and you need to prove you deserve it. They give me hope for my dream behind all the rejections I expirience on every bank or lending companies I applied. If you are motivated and serious on what you want to be, trust them they'll.guide and help along the way.

Rise has encouraged me by providing hope for my dreams and goals.Thank you all.
