Over the years, Taylor Symone has used three loans from DreamSpring to grow her business, including buying more inventory as her business’s popularity took off. What was the experience like?

In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Kristin and Darren are joined by Metta Smith, chief lending and client experience officer for DreamSpring, and Symone, spa owner and DreamSpring client, to discuss how DreamSpring helped her achieve her entrepreneurial dreams, best practices when securing your first small business loan, and the partnership between DreamSpring and ABMP.

Metta is chief lending and client experience officer for DreamSpring.

Taylor is a member of our sister association ASCP, Associated Skin Care Professionals, and a DreamSpring client based in Dallas. Her day spa, Touch-N-Skin, employs nine individuals providing beauty and hair treatments, therapeutic postoperative care, massages, and facials.
