Tracy and I were in the UK for my mother’s 90th birthday when we received an email from the SBA stating our PPP loan was denied forgiveness. We had less than a month to respond and appeal. We were halfway through a great, long-overdue vacation and would not be back for two more weeks. So somehow, we had to put this bad news to the back of our minds, and enjoy Europe /chill in Tuscany.

Back in San Diego with 10 days to the deadline, we scrambled to find professional help. Our CPA was not responding – and hadn’t given us the best information when we originally applied. It was a stroke of good fortune to find John as we desperately phoned around locally for support. John actually answered the phone! He listened carefully to our situation and understood the urgency. What a relief.

Not only was he present in this call, but also put a plan into action immediately – we had one week.

John did all the communication with SBA, having long-term relationships that would respond to him. John defined all the necessary documentation and crunched the numbers. John continually kept in touch (asked for more info when needed) and kept us informed. In less than two weeks John made it happen!  We received a letter from the SBA granting full forgiveness. 

THANK YOU JOHN!
