TESTIMONIALS from small business accelerator 2025
What Others Are Saying
"Learned Invaluable Information."
As a new business owner, I was overwhelmed with where to begin in understanding the foundational needs for my business. I was able to learn invaluable information about strategic planning for my small business through The City of South Fulton's partnership with Georgia SBDC. Over four months, I learned about how to utilize AI in my business, implement a marketing plan as well as understand the basics of getting business funding. The event location was conveniently located and comfortable. Having access to resources like this makes me truly appreciate being a resident of South Fulton.

"I gained practical guidance."
As the owner of two businesses, I most enjoyed the Customer Service class because it addressed an area that directly impacts every business: creating experiences that build customer loyalty. The class helped me understand how to define service standards, hire people who naturally value customer care, and train a team to deliver consistent service across different interactions. This was especially timely for ALG Virtual Staffing, where I lead a team of five. After years of being accustomed to working independently in my other business, I gained practical guidance I needed to lead and support my ALG VA team.
