My husband and I attended a seminar 8-27-06 in NH. Joined for $999. on the spot. VERY stupid of us! NGC promised to critique and taylor a biz plan until it would be satisfactory for grant submissions. The following tues. my husband submitted a very professional 20 page biz plan to NGC to get the ball rolling. NOW NGC wants $5000. to write us a biz plan!!! Absolute thieves! Now they do not return our phone calls and have said it could take months to critique our own biz plan. That was NOT the service promised in their "all hype" seminar. BUT - for $5000. additional dollars we could have their biz plan in two days. We were willing to do the work - now we are trying to get a refund. SCORE volunteers will help any small business, in most towns and cities, across our fine nation of opportunity, in this same arena for NO CHARGE. BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!
