"Thank you for being a reliable option for funding during the pandemic when we needed it and thank you for being a PARO partner."

"I received a NECO loan to purchase two franchise regions. They worked with me to help me produce the the documents I needed to receive funding. Since receiving funding NECO has helped me get statements and conventional funding for more franchise regions. I would highly recommend new ventures reach out to NECO to help fund their entrepreneurial venture."

"This was a great experience for my business the staff was so amazing."

"I have had nothing but good experiences with NECO."

"Tickled Teals Entertainment has been grateful for the PARO/NECO funding and I've been able to continue building and growing the business. The turnaround is quick and they are always there to lend an ear and give advice."

"The personality at NECO, makes it well to conduct businesses."

"Funds from NECO is very helpful for start-up but the interest rate should not be too high otherwise the company won't be able to stand or move on."

"When nobody else was able to help NECO was there to make sure that my business didn't sink during the pandemic. They care about your business where banks look down on you if you are a small business. NECO gave me the ability to make it through the pandemic and for them I could not be more thankful."

"As a small business owner, I am grateful for the support that NECO has provided. This economy is suffering and assistance, whether to keep the lights on, improvements or staples is appreciated to get through these tough times."

"I applied for a NECO loan during covid, the process was super quick and easy. Being the owner of a hair salon we were hit the hardest during the pandemic. Payment plans were easy and anytime I had questions the staff was always there to help. Without NECO I surely would have had to close my salon. Thank you so much."

"Thank you NECO for your assistance. It is truly appreciated."

"Les Compagnons des francs loisirs have had an amazing partnership with NECO CFDC. We have consistently found the support we needed. The team at NECO CFDC has been instrumental in our success, providing assistance whenever we've reached out."

"It helped us during the pandemic to have a smaller loan than the banks were willing to look at. We used it as a growth project to try and better equip ourselves and set ourselves up for the future. Unfortunately Covid caused far more damage than we expected and it was a steady roller coaster where our government would change the game repeatedly and provide our business zero relief because we were too new to be covered by any Covid grant or access to CEBA loans etc."

"NECO is #1 in Customer Service and Financial help Period. We could not ask for better partner in business."

"NECO staff have been amazing to work with. They were very supportive throughout the process. I was hesitant to reach out and ask for help during the pandemic, but I am so glad I did. Thank you for all your great work in our community!"

"K & S Natural Gas & Propane Services are currently a client of NECO CFDC, with the help to get our business started and help with getting our expansion started, we could not have been this successful without NECO assistance, their friendly & helpful staff & support when needed."

"Please know that without your help, my business would have had to cease operations . Thank you to Neco staff!"

"NECO CFDC has been instrumental in providing funding not only for my business, but for many of my clientele. I have always loved the policy of considering applications on a case by case basis, and the analysis of how these businesses can benefit Northern Ontario. The support NECO has provided to so many local businesses has allowed them success that may otherwise have not been achievable."

"Great experience, great service."

"Working with NECO to help fund our start-up and business expansion was excellent. The NECO staff worked diligently and cooperatively to evaluate our business and process funding quickly. I have recommended NECO to other business associates in our area."
