In 2016, after twenty years in the music industry working for others, I decided it was time for a change. My father, a small business owner himself, had recently passed away, which further motivated me to embark on a new journey. I was intrigued by the growing trend of print-on-demand goods in e-commerce. This model allowed artists to offer a full product line without
the upfront costs of production. However, the main challenge was the high cost of acquiring the necessary printers.

That's when JFLA came into the picture. My financial advisor recommended them while I was exploring options for an SBA loan. JFLA provided the operating capital we needed to get started. With their support, we purchased a printer, blanks, and had enough left over to cover staffing for the first few months. This crucial initial loan allowed me to establish my company,
MAP Digital Solutions.

Our business grew steadily. We attracted new clients and successfully navigated the challenges posed by COVID-19 and the economic downturn. By 2023, we had repaid our initial loan from JFLA. We then applied for another loan, which enabled us to expand our production capabilities. We went from offering simple print-on-demand services to providing sublimation and laser engraving as well.

JFLA gave me the opportunity not only to start my business but also to grow it. Their support has been invaluable, and I am forever grateful for the role they played in my entrepreneurial journey.

JFLA was instrumental in launching MAP Digital Solutions with a loan to cover equipment and startup costs. The company has expanded services and navigated challenges with confidence
