Building a More Sustainable Business

Sabrina Narcisse is the proud owner of Sabrina Narcisse, LLC. This human resources management firm brings a holistic approach to organizational culture. Services offered include recruitment, consulting, and training courses providing the framework for employees and independent contractors to find their place and purpose within small businesses and nonprofit organizations. She started her business in 2018. In 2022, Narcisse wanted to expand her services to offer training courses for entry- to manager-level employees. Already a HOPE member, she felt confident coming to HOPE for assistance. When she could not get financing from other financial institutions, she knew HOPE would help. Narcisse received a Power of HOPE Small Business loan. Power of HOPE loans were developed to meet the working capital expenses of small businesses impacted by the pandemic by providing low-interest rate loans up to $10,000. “I consider myself a veteran now that I’ve gone through the process,” recalls Narcisse. Since receiving her loan, Narcisse has hired a researcher and a contractor to help develop the training courses and accounting support for operations to be sustainable. The consulting firm is now positioned for growth. “HOPE is really doing a great job with providing financing for small businesses that would not qualify for traditional funding; I would encourage more small business owners to apply for loans to get the funding they need,” says Narcisse.
