The Alliance/Alianza Business Assistance Center — Local services in Thornton

A Lifeline for Entrepreneurs – Deepest Gratitude for the Alliance Team

I cannot say enough about the incredible team at the City of Thornton Alliance Business Center. As a solo entrepreneur without a formal business background, the support I’ve received from this organization has been nothing short of transformational.

Brenda Gomez, Janet Gonzalez, and Jenny Leon*are the welcoming, efficient, and compassionate administrative backbone of this center. Every time I need to book an appointment or connect with a resource, they make it effortless and seamless. Their warmth and professionalism set the tone for everything this business center stands for.

Diego Leyes has been an absolute marketing guru — his expertise and creative insight have helped me strategically grow my visibility and sharpen my brand. His guidance has made an incredible impact on my business over the past few years.

And now, working with Andy Figueroa as my current business coach has been a game-changer. His support with business planning for my company Elite Psychedelics has given me the confidence, clarity, and actionable steps I needed to take things to the next level.

I’ve attended several workshops, connected with professional consultants and the networking opportunities have been very helpful. In doing so, I’ve become very familiar with the Alliance Business Assistance Centers facility and its employees. The facility is beautiful, but if you walk in for assistance that requires the staff to assist you, assistance feels unwelcomed. Unfortunately, my experience working directly with the employees has not been great, and have been refused service. I have felt unheard by staff, experienced a lack of written/verbal communication from all employees, transparency lacking and when they are available to answer questions, they are very misleading. The front desk outreach specialist is the most unprofessional person I’ve encountered in a long time is not helpful to assist and I question if they really want to be there to help the community or...
