 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric and Trudi from SBAAS are absolute legends! They really know their stuff when it comes to helping businesses, and what I like most is that they're just really easy to deal with. No complicated jargon or fancy talk, just good, practical advice that actually makes sense.

You can tell they genuinely care about the people they work with, and they're always happy to share their knowledge and help wherever they can. There's so much experience between the two of them, and they're just all-round good people who are always willing to lend a hand.

The only downside is Eric's dad jokes. Unfortunately, the advice he gives is so valuable that you just have to put up with them!

Both lovely people who really know what they're doing and would happily recommend them to anyone running a business.

Five stars for Eric and Trudi. Can't say the same for his jokes...

It was an enriching conversation, and I now have much more confidence moving forward in what already feels like a true partnership.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I was looking to start my disability support business, I came across SBAAS and had the absolute pleasure of working with Eric and Trudi. They were genuinely so lovely from day one. They went above and beyond for me in every way and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! I always felt so supported and like I had people in my corner who actually cared about what I was trying to build. They were super easy to talk to, really patient and took the time to understand my vision and what I wanted my business to look like. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Even now, I still feel like I could reach out if I needed help or had questions and they’d be more than happy to help. I'm so grateful for them and everything they did to help me get started. Thank you Eric and Trudi!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a startup social enterprise, our team of three had never built a business together before, so having the support of Eric and Trudi Allgood from SBAAS has been invaluable.

From business planning, policies and procedures through to bookkeeping support and strategic advice, they've helped us put the right foundations in place for sustainable growth. What we love most is that they don't just give advice—they keep us accountable and focused on moving forward.

Many of the things we've struggled with as a new business were second nature to them, and their guidance has saved us countless hours, mistakes and headaches.

As sponsors and supporters of our community art gallery, they've also been incredibly generous with their time and encouragement. It's clear they genuinely care about helping small businesses succeed. We're incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend SBAAS to any business owner looking for experienced advisors who truly have your best interests at heart.
