Awesome first time loan experience from start to the end! All the staff I spoke to were very helpful and moved my application in a timely manner, and always followed up if things were going to be a little slow. Great communication and friendly service! Thank you CEF for truly making this an extremely smooth process for me.

We are so fortunate to be working with CEF. From day one we felt they had our back, and wanted us to succeed. Through the hole process the CEF team was available, responsive and resourceful to make the financing posible. We hope we can keep working with CEF in the future. At CUJI Foods we are great full to have the opportunity to work with them, and happy to considering CEF part of our team.

Devastating experience; no resolution. The service offered from CEF are wonderful if only they were achievable for all. Acknowledgement is equity for minority operated businesses. I pray others have their opportunities acknowledged; sometimes that's all that matters.

I cannot begin to thank the amazing staff at CEF enough for what they paved the way for, in my efforts to expand my businesss. At all times, through each phase of the loan process, communication was key, and I was made aware of who I would be working with and what the scope of that particular phase entailed. To work with an organization in today's world that has their act together is seemingly few and far between, but rest assured, this team is on top of it! A special thank you to Lewis for making this happen, and for being the reason I am able to expedite and scale the growth of my agency. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Through my own experience with this company, my intention is to inform those whom are seeking a business loan through the untraditional process to seek elsewhere. This is not untraditional lending; meaning the same criteria for a traditional bank loan apply here at CEF!
I would've preferred for them to be honest in the beginning and telling it was not possible rather than string me along and lie giving me false hope! While I am disheartened and they have wasted nearly 2 months of my time; I must move on in Faith and Trust in God!
This company is not in alignment with whom they say they are and what they do which is very problematic!!

I worked with CEF on the PPP process which was pretty easy, which is the only reason I’m giving two stars, and is why I started with CEF while looking into getting a small loan for my business.
I spent 30 minutes filling out the required paperwork to schedule an intro call. The first call that was scheduled was canceled about an hour before. Not the end of the world, things happen. I had to follow up after not hearing back about rescheduling. The rescheduled call was then no-showed. I eventually got a call over 20 minutes late, but by that time I already decided to move on and not waste anymore of my time. They either don’t respect your time or are just too overwhelmed to provide a decent service.
