Orthodontics is my way of being of service and I would not be where I am today without the Jewish Free Loan. Jewish Free Loan was there for me with an interest-free loan when I was ready to start my business and provided me with the funds I needed to buy a practice. Hillel

I needed to fund the build out of the office for my pediatric therapy business. Without JFLA, I do not think that I would have been able to have an office, and would still be driving around Los Angeles all day to see patients in their homes. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Without your help, I would not have been to grow my small business. As a young woman, starting a business has its own specific challenges, but this Medical Practice Loan allowed for one part of this journey to be manageable. I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity which would not have been possible without JFLA.Emma

Before we reached out to Jewish Free Loan we reached out to credit card companies and big banks, and we were turned down and not taken seriously. No one really cared. It wasn’t until Jewish Free Loan took us seriously that we felt we had a chance. The loan from Jewish Free Loan gave us credibility and then others came through to help fund our dream business.

I needed the JFLA small business loan for working capital; to help finance permits to improve my business, (more exposure), to keep me afloat financially so that I can support my family.

I have been able to maintain my realtor's dues/fees up to date; otherwise, I would not even be able to perform my obligations nor would I have access to my Multiple Listing Service. A sincere appreciation for your consideration to assist the many business owners that are struggling through difficult unprecedented times. JFLA’s financial assistance has kept my Realtor dues active, without it, I would not be able to continue with my obligations to service my clients and I would be in a deeper financial stress after facing late payments, reinstallation of accounts, and the list can go on and on. Thank you so much, the JFLA loan means so much to me.Linda
