“Thank you very much for all the help, I truly appreciate it.”

“This is truly a blessing, I don’t think I can thank you enough.”

“I wanted to write in just to thank you all so very much for helping my family. It means so much to us in these uncertain times. We hope to be able to give back once we are back on our feet.”

“Thank you so much for taking some of the pressure from our family. We really appreciate it!”

"Let me begin by expressing my gratitude to you and for the service that your agency is providing! I appreciate your compassion, patience, and diligence in helping me on the phone today.”

“I am overcome with gratitude and relief. Thank you all so much! Please let me know if there is anything I can do in return.

We manufacture Jun, a sparkling probiotic drink made with raw honey and green tea that is rich in probiotics. Jun has become known as the “Champagne of Kombucha” due to its light, smooth, and unique flavor profile. So, it is the perfect immune boosting beverage for folks to be drinking now. We have been in business for 3 years. In those three years, we have generated over $500,000 in revenue, with each year showing 50% growth from the previous year. Unimpeded, we projected to generate $375,000 in 2020 with our traditional revenue streams.

Unfortunately 90% of our wholesale accounts have closed. We are in the process of putting into place an e-commerce platform, connecting with home delivery companies, offering home deliveries, & working with Rangeme so that we can be picked up by larger grocery stores.

This loan could not have come at a better time. We needed the cash infusion for operating expenses and fortunately, the money showed up in my bank account right in the nick of time, right before payroll!

With this loan we now have working capital and I can keep folks employed and invest in our online marketing and e-commerce platform to stimulate revenue. We plan to promote our DIY Jun Brewing kits because we have noticed a spike in goods related to self-sufficiency. With people less inclined to going out, anything that they can do for themselves in their homes is becoming in demand. We expect that with a push in our online marketing campaign our sales will take off allowing us not only to survive but to thrive!
