PROSPERA OFFICES
What our clients and partners are saying about their Prospera experience.
My business has progressively improved since my first meeting with an HBIF (now Prospera) business consultant. I arrived at their offices with an idea and many dreams, but nothing concrete. The consultant gave me tips to start and a step by step guide. They have helped me reach new stages of growth in my business.
HBIF (now Prospera) has played a vital role in our company. They have supported us in our projects and helped tremendously with how we find and approach contracts, the bidding process, and our company’s plan for the future. Their grants to build a website and gain knowledge of our market have been great assets to have, helping our image and giving us confidence to pursue more contracts.
HBIF (now Prospera)’s grant for a business plan was extremely helpful because it helped us understand our projections accurately. The assistance that we received towards accounting and financing made a big difference; being able to fully comprehend our finances made the biggest difference in our company’s success.
Business owners, Issa Rehab Services Corp. Venice, FL
After many failures, I told HBIF (now Prospera) the story of what I was looking for, and it was a great fit… It was exactly what I needed, and after that things started making sense.
HBIF (now Prospera) has well prepared and knowledgeable consultants who have demonstrated commitment and a sincere interest in the success of my business.
Prospera took what I had been doing and gave it more shape. They helped me procure our second round of funding and helped with loan applications. Over the years they’ve been a great support, a great network with very smart people. It’s not only the three grants; it’s being there as a sounding board and providing access to mentors.
