WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I would be completely lost if it wasn’t for the North Valley BusinessSource. I would have probably hesitated in opening up my business if it wasn’t for them because I would have been too scared to open without proper guidance.
I went to the South Valley BusinessSource before I knew all the steps I needed to take to start my own business. I was completely overwhelmed! I met Luis there and he guided me through all the necessary paperwork and showed me what licenses I needed for what I said I wanted to do. I had a lot of questions and a lot to learn in general. Without him, I surely wouldn’t be where I am today. I couldn’t have hoped for a better place to go for everything I needed.
ICON CDC has many great resources available for the public. Alma was a great coach, she was very helpful and provided me much help and support. She made me feel very comfortable and was always there to help me with as many resources she possibly could.
