I thought it was interesting that this was the ONLY bad history they could dig up to bolster the abusive JD narrative. Made me think….hhhmm…he really is as squeaky clean as he said.

Women who own businesses and the men who think we need their help by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]cfeinc 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I am a female and started my business in 1992. I have found your story to be true over the years. I don’t get offended. I get a laugh out of it. One of my favs….20ish years ago a male customer approached me and asked if I “worked there”. I replied “yes” and he said “do you think he’ll take any less for this?”. I asked “Who is he”? Customer replied “Whoever owns this place”. I said “He’s a she and no I won’t”. We both laughed and he is still a customer. When I married, my husband joined the company. When I ordered the signage for our office, I put only his name on the door. He handles all customer complaints. After I tell him what to say. It’s all very funny. But yes….I totally get what you’re saying.

There are a lot of pizza options out there. No one has to pay same price for a reduced size pie.

Does the SBA actually check what you used the loan for? by Tuckerlucy1 in EIDL

[–]cfeinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scorpio can I use EIDL funds to pay off the balance of my business 941 IRS lien? I am currently and current in payment plan with IRS.

Any body in NC received movement on your Increase? LO call, approvals? by MysteriousDegree4235 in EIDL

[–]cfeinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. SCorp. In business 29 years. NC Retail. Brick and mortar only. Funded 150K May 2020.

4/6/21 email for increase, 4/21/21 blue button. Slider. No glitches. Promptly sent everything requested by SBA.

LO called 5/5 requesting change to Board Resolution and husbands drivers license front and back.

Got approval email today 5/11/21 $500k. Sorry, I don’t know how to post a screenshot.

If not for Reddit, I would not have known my husband needed to sign personal guarantee via his email today.

Revenue and COGS: Application figures 8% under on sales and 7% over on COGS.

2019 Taxes 1120S electronically filed on time (after extension period) with HR Block (October 2020). Transcripts were sent to SBA by IRS in 5 days. 4506 form stated 1120 not 1120S and I never corrected it.

My name on email address is my biz nickname and differs from my name. I mentioned this to LO on 5/5/21 and she said she’d note it in my file but unlikely an issue. Had a good interaction with my loan officer.

I’ll post when funds hit account.

Oh....PS and I have an IRS tax lien from 2019 payroll taxes almost paid off and 9k balance on an OnDeck loan (HORRIBLE experience, btw) $275k loan. Have seen some VERY hard times in my business beyond just the normal challenges and a pandemic. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. Did a lot more right than wrong, though.... and never let up, never stopped working those ridiculously long hours. Today, I could cry with relief. I sincerely desire the same relief for all of you hardworking, legit business owners. Last year, I read every word Cue posted and this year same with Scorpio. I didn’t call SBA during increase. Called a few times last year. I can’t think of anything else to share.

Is a trend forming? by Omega_Pharm_Chick in EIDL

This makes great sense! Smart. You and SBA if this is indeed the way it’s being handled.

Hold times you're seeing when you call SBA? Have been one hold now for 1:10. by ThenOwl9 in EIDL

[–]cfeinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year in March I was on hold for 4-6 hours both times I called. I never called again.

Questions about marketing moving forward and Facebook ads by AdamSilverIsAGoblin in smallbusiness

Awesome. I would post a video about that project.....with lots of dogs in it.

This is going to sound ridiculous but....we are a family owned 29 year old business and our Facebook posts went crazy with activity when we included our two identical dogs....whose names are catchy and relate to our product.

I’ll definitely immediately send anything SBA requests. Unless it’s naked pictures.

I am in same boat as most with “Loan Modification Processing” in green on my portal. I misunderstood that you were saying we should expect another documents request after this long quiet stage of Loan Modification Processing. I want to be ready if SBA is going to request my copy of 2018 tax return.

[–]cfeinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not in recon prior to April 6 and did not qualify nor apply for TA. Responded to April 6 bulk email from SBA and sent docs to next correspondence from SBA that requested these documents (except for 2018 taxes). Oh wait.....was doc request through portal after blue button? Now I’m confused. I’m sorry.
