What Our Clients Say

"The Ventures product is excellent. Someone with average software acumen can learn it on their own (including custom report writing). Ventures’ customer support is outstanding. The team is knowledgeable, and the response time exceeds my expectations. Their support is among the best I’ve experienced in my career."

Denise Zboralske
Chief Financial & Operating Officer | California Statewide CDC

"As an SBA Lender Service Provider with high volume, integrative software that provides the necessary tools for efficient and accurate application processing is crucial. The platform that Ventures+ offers has been an essential part of our success, and their customer support is excellent."

Susan George
Vice President, Lender Services | Statesman Business Advisors

"Ventures is an easy program to work with. I especially like the variety of reports that can be generated, and tweaked, for the information that we are specifically looking for. They are very helpful if there is an issue or problem."

Betty Rich

"Our CDC has utilized Ventures+ services for several years. We have always experienced the BEST customer service. Ventures+ quickly responds to questions or concerns while going above and beyond to insure quality outcomes, program understanding and quality training for their customers."

Melody Harmon

"We used Ventures+ to review Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) applications and submit to the Small Business Administration (SBA). Ventures+ is a great solution because they have a direct connection to E-Tran."

"Ventures+ is extremely versatile with great built-in management tools and the ability to easily create your own. Since it’s web-based, the updates are immediate and seamless.

"Ventures+ is constantly evolving with more solutions that help all phases of our loan process. And the customer support is outstanding!"

"Ventures+ is a breath of fresh air in a data driven world. Accessing loan data, moving from screen to screen and completing tasks is extremely easy to do. Ventures+ was created with a primary goal of ease of use while ensuring accuracy and completeness throughout the program. The transition to Ventures+ was seamless and the training was thorough."
