“We definitely couldn’t have done it off our own back. Being a young family it would have just been too hard, too much. The First Start Loan has definitely given us the lift that we need.” - Julia Burge

“The QRIDA First Start Loan, if we had never found it or applied for it, I don’t think we’d be where we are today. It did fast-track us quite significantly."

- Martin Eggerling

“The First Start Loan also helped us greatly with the lower interest rate and interest-only period for the first five years given the tough times we had when we started out.”

- Anita Dennis
