Creating a Better Business and Family Life

Being a business owner can be an exciting, yet stressful venture, which can come with its own set of risks and rewards. Having already been in business for 15 years, Ashley Cleveland, owner of Simple Pleasures Massage Therapy in Sisseton, SD, knows this firsthand. Once Ashley got word that the salon she rented space from would be closing, she knew she had a decision to make.

Ultimately, Ashley chose to relocate her business to her home, which also meant that she would need more space. Ashley contacted GROW South Dakota to discuss financing options.

She was able to secure financing to add on to her home and create the additional space needed to keep her business going.

When asked how her experience with GROW South Dakota helped her business, she had this to say: “The financing from GROW South Dakota gave me the ability to have less overhead and stress, and I am able to have a better business and family life.”
