“SKED helped me find just the right financing solution to fit my specific needs,
helped me get my trucks back on the road and my storefront open. They are a
great resource for small business owners in Southeast Kentucky. The staff has
been very supportive and willing to keep my business growing here in
Middlesboro, Kentucky.”

John Marsee, owner
Quality Tire & Accessories, Inc.

“From the very beginning of our planning phase, SKED was right there with us. We
were glad to know we could count on them to get our Somerset clinic off to a
great start. With SKED’s assistance, we were able to open the clinic with
necessary equipment and resources to help the kids of the Somerset area!”

Brandy Close & Jennifer Houk, co-owners
The Kid SpOt Center, LLC

“My experience working with SKED has been phenomenal. Everyone I have come in
contact with has been very supportive and helpful. When beginning this journey,
I had no idea where to start. I am beyond thankful Karen Minton was there to
lead me in the right direction from the beginning. Karen and all her colleagues
are wonderful. Working with SKED has been amazing, and I hope to continue with
their support throughout my journey.”

Allison Sallee, owner
All About Kids Therapy, LLC

“It has been a pleasure working with SKED,” Bart said. “Thanks to the loan that
ProFab, Inc. received from SKED, we were able to grow our business and help keep
our employees working and providing for their families, too.”

Bart Williams, owner
PROFAB, Inc.

“The loan staff worked with us on structuring a loan product that was beneficial
to all parties and pushed the business purchase through. They were with us every
step, from inspecting the property, underwriting the financial info, and
discussing the best way to make the business fund the growth we wanted and keep
it successful for another 25 years.”

Stefan Brown, co-owner
All Boats Service Center

“It is such a pleasure working with SKED. Goose Creek Candle Company is very
appreciative of their continued support. Organizations such as SKED are
invaluable to businesses such as ours and we are so proud to partner with them
for continued growth and success.”
