Entrepreneurial Testimonials

Empire Emergency

“When it was time for Empire Emergency to expand our business, we needed assistance with a new business plan as well as some advice as to the best way to navigate all the potential funding avenues. We reached out to the SUNY Niagara Small Business Development Center and was directed to Dinene Zaleski, the Business Advisor. Little did I know at that time what a gem of a resource we have in our very own backyard. Dinene quickly dug into what Empire Emergency is, who we are and what we stand for. Dinene truly emersed herself in our mission statement “Solutions that Matter” and how it works for the first responders that assist our community’s day in and day out. Dinene worked tirelessly to assist me in providing a true workable business plan and a financial outlook that was achievable.

In today’s economic climate, with the onset of the world pandemic of Covid-19, many businesses have had to close, endure financial hardships and many other issues coupled with outside suppliers. Working with the SUNY Niagara Small Business Development Center, we were able to enter this unprecedented pandemic and continue to achieve our financial goals due to the hard work we all put together forming a solid business plan. I truly owe a debt of gratitude to the professionalism as well as the compassion that was given to make our plan a successful one to Dinene Zaleski, Business Advisor SUNY NiagaraSBDC.”
