I want to take a moment to share my experience working with Ian and the team at Facility Founders, because hiring them was truly one of the best decisions I made while starting my business. Going into this, I honestly thought all I needed was funding. I already had my business plan, financial model, and facility layout completed. I also have a BA in business and years of experience as a baseball coach, so I felt confident in what I was building. What I didn’t realize was how valuable it would be to have someone like Ian in my corner throughout the entire process. Ian was always there to answer the many questions that came up along the way. No matter how small or complex the issue was, he made himself available. Having him and his team as a safety net gave me peace of mind, especially when financial or strategic questions came up. It was reassuring to know I could lean on a well-diversed and knowledgeable team that truly understands this industry. I’ll be honest, I was very skeptical at first about hiring Facility Founders because it was a big investment. Looking back now, it was worth every penny. I had been turned down multiple times trying to secure funding on my own. With Ian, the very first time my package was sent to a lender, I was approved. Facility Founders didn’t just help with funding either. They helped me find the right building and walked with me through every step of the process. As I’m writing this, we are actively installing turf, netting, gym equipment, and HitTrax, and seeing everything come together is incredibly rewarding. If you’re on the fence about hiring Facility Founders, my advice is simple: do it, and do it sooner rather than later. Ian and his team truly help you every step of the way, and I couldn’t have done this without them.
