People!!! Listen!!! Do not waste your money on this product. Go to your local job resource centre and tell them that you are looking for funding for your small business. They will point you in the direction of everything you need to know to apply for the grants that are useful to your particular business and it will cost you absolutely nothing!!!
This business is a fraud, no matter how they try and defend themselves. Legally, they have done everything they can to protect themselves with disclaimers, etc. But the truth of it is, the value of the information that they are trying to sell you is absolutely $0. It is all free information and VERY EASY TO FIND ON YOUR OWN.
Here is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my disappointment with this company:
#1. I was NEVER TOLD THAT MY CONVERSATION WAS BEING RECORDED. I truly doubt that it was, although they will try to threaten you with this, saying that you agreed on record to their scam. If you are persistent enough, you CAN get your money back. Others have.
#2. It doesn't bother them AT ALL that so many people are extremely disappointed with their product. When I called to politely request a refund, the person at SBFC didn't even ask why I wanted a refund. That's because he already knew why. It's because the product is obviously worthless and there are hundreds if not thousands of people who have been disappointed by it and requested refunds.
#3The vast majority of my calls have never been returned. Sometimes I'm put on hold until the connection goes dead, no one ever answers to speak to me. No one has ever emailed me a receipt of confirmation as requested the last time I actually managed to get someone on the phone. I have never in my life had such bad service from a company. Guaranteed "Steven Trustrum" is going to post a rebuttal directly below my comment here, denying this. I promise you, you will not get any help from them as soon as they have your money.
#4. Despite their disclaimers, they are obviously making efforts to mimic the Service Canada website (www.servicecanada.com) because without that association, no one would fall for their scam. They rely on association with the government of Canada to make their business appear legit. See screenshots of the two websites below. They are the same down to the details of the colors of the buttons, etc. The logo is purposefully almost identical to the government logo and the use of 4 people's faces at the top is just too similar to be a coincidence. These people are sick.
They also started to operate as www.canada-grants-loans.com because they were obviously having so many complaints about their terrible product, so watch out for that as well. They are continuing to swindle well-meaning business owners out of their hard-earned start up cash. Spread the word and maybe one day we'll actually get these guys shut down. Don't let your friends and business owners be fooled by this SCAM ( I wish I could write that in bigger letters).
