"The only way I could find my business. Was a bit scary at first liquidating your retirement. But I'm in a much better place in life! This is your one and only life... Do you really want to work for someone else and be just ok, with little to no meaning?"

"The entire Guidant team was extremely helpful and provided every bit of value to the process of utilizing our retirement assets to fund our business aspirations. Their knowledge, expertise, customer service, and overall willingness to help us succeed drastically improved our experience of starting our own business while reducing the apprehension and inherent stress of this life changing process. It would have been extremely difficult to execute our vision without the strong partnership we have with Guidant."

"Very professional and knowledgeable. On call to answer questions when needed "

"Guidant made it possible for us to invest in ourselves when no one else was willing to take a chance on our start-up."

"Starting a business? Guidant is the company with integrity and know-how to get you started. I highly recommend their services and support."

"As a first time business owner, Guidant Financial has made the process incredibly smooth! They have been there when I needed them and they have been there when I didn't know that I needed them. Everyone that I have spoken with or corresponded with via email has been knowledgeable and helpful. The team at Guidant Financial is awesome!! "

"After looking at campgrounds to purchase for 5 years as well as watching the trend of individuals using their 401k funds for financing their purchases, I was very comfortable using Guidant for my services. They were well known in the campground business and were able to answer all of my questions. They lead me, my accountant and my banker through each step of the process. I especially appreciated their willingness to join with my accounting and banking contacts in conference calls. This allowed my entire team to hear and understand what I was doing. As I approach the end of my first season I feel comfortable that I have following the correct employment and accounting procedures required through this type of investment funding. I would not hesitate to use Guident for future transactions.

"I used Guidant to help me with my business start-up, and I have been very pleased with Guidant's services."

"Happy with my business and pleased with Guidant for helping me set it up. But hate required polls."

"Services are just too expensive"

"Guidant is the best way to utilize your retirement funds to purchase a business. Owning your own business is much better than working for a big company. "

"Guidant really helped with the finances of the business we were purchasing.
They answered a lot of the questions we had concerning rolling over our
retirement and 401 K. I would advise others to use the service.

"The entire Guidant staff is first class."

"My husband of 18 years past away in 2011. My son was only 9 at the time. Unable to return to a traditional 9 to 5 job, I thought if I had the flexibility I needed, I would prefer to own and operate my own business while still doing my most important job of being a mom. The ability to use retirement funds to start a business while not having to pay taxes was beneficial and Guidant Financial are experts in their field. I joined the Menchies Franchise family in December of 2014 and I am currently in the real estate selection process. I look forward to the grand opening of my Menchies in Citrus Heights, CA and a lasting relationship with Guidant Financial."

"The team at Guidant Financial are extremely friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is thinking of going into business for themselves
