Speaker: James R, Owner / Operator
James R: Hi. My name is James. I'm an owner / operator, truck driver for those who don't know what it is. I applied for the PPP loan through Blueacorn, and it was by far the easiest thing and the best decision I ever made. Let me let me tell you, I'm skeptical. Really skeptical. So when I saw that, you know, it was on their ad through Facebook. I decided I said, Well, maybe, maybe not. I don't know. Um, but it was so easy in less than, you know, 5 to 7 minutes, the whole process was done, and I was just like, man, there's no way that it can't be real. You know, they walk you through the whole thing. So it's not like you've got to guess to try to figure out "Oh, am I doing this right?" "Am I doing that wrong?" But it was just a seamless process. Like I said, 5-7 minutes, I uploaded a few things and I was done, After that it was just a matter of waiting to find out, you know? And they send you emails daily, and they let you know the whole process on what's going on. And here it is. About a week and a half later, I woke up on a Saturday morning and the funds were in the account. I mean, you can't beat that. You just... I cannot say how happy I am to say that I went ahead and gave Blueacorn a chance and went through their process. And like I said, they email you all the time. Uh, there wasn't a phone number because it's a you know, a smaller company. And, you know, they don't want to be inundated with calls and they have that way that puts them behind and getting the process done, You know, for everything else. So I would say, Go ahead - use Blueacorn It'll be the best thing you've ever done. Um, be patient with them. If you have anything, any questions, send them an email, you know, on the spot where they have that you can send them, you know, contact, they will contact you back. And I mean, it will be a personal email. It's not gonna be a computer generated email, Give them a chance. I'm telling you, it's the best decision you could ever make. I know because I am skeptical. And I did it and it was there. So I want to say thank you to Blueacorn your whole support team. Uh, I'm glad that you guys are doing this for the 1099 contractors such as myself, because it's hard to navigate with big businesses getting these loans and the smaller ones who need it, we can't get it. But I got it. I'm appreciative, and I just want to say thank you for it.
Would you recommend Blueacorn to a friend?
James R: When asked -"Would I recommend Blueacorn to a friend or a business partner?" Unequivocally. Yes. Who? Unequivocally? Yes, there's no hesitation whatsoever. I mean, so far, I've recommended them to probably about maybe say, seven or eight guys that I know that the owner operators, my cousin who's a concrete finisher has his business. There's several people I've recommended it to, and so far all of them have started the process and they are actually in the stage where it's gone to the SBA to be, approved. So it's looking good. It's looking really good, so definitely highly recommended.
