Here is what some of the loan recipients had to say about the effects of receiving a loan through the MBF:
“MBF’s Black Business Loan Program helped me to invest in myself so my dreams could continue to be realized.”
“The MBF Loan has significantly helped my business to implement vital systems for the strong infrastructure we need to grow.”
“The MBF BBLP is a savior to small minority businesses that do not have access to financing from larger financial institutions. Before graduating from this program and securing a loan, I was at the mercy of the “loan sharks.” The outlook is promising, as I see a bright future in 2020, thanks to this amazing program.”
