In their words
What founders say
“I had the idea but no clue how to get funded. Ian turned my notes into a plan the lender actually approved — I opened three months later.”
“Calm, clear and genuinely on my side. The Start Up Loan felt daunting until Ian walked me through every step.”
“He didn't just get me funded — he stayed on as we grew and helped secure our next round. Worth every penny.”
