Without this assistance Reklis Brewing Company would not have been able to purchase a property for our business that is going to allow us to grow beyond our current footprint. Our business has had a tremendous economic impact on our local community, and this assistance will expand that impact.

Just thank you, Aaron was great and very responsive. We look forward to working with NCIC in the near future.

NCIC offered Jasper Hill Farm a new financing instrument to help support our growth. As new market opportunities arose we had access to an equipment line of credit to allow us to meet increased customer demand. The process was quick and easy allowing us to pivot quickly, meet our timelines and beat our annual revenue projections.
