From Employee To Entrepreneur

When the owners of Bakersfield Carpet Cleaning, a trusted family-owned business, decided it was time to retire, it marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. For Britany L., a single mother working a 9-to-5 as an accountant, it was the opportunity she had been waiting for. Ready to take a leap into business ownership, Britany turned to AltaOne for support. Although she had never owned a business before, the team didn’t just provide financing—they walked alongside her every step of the way. From navigating permits and securing her business license to setting up her books and financial systems, AltaOne provided guidance, encouragement, and confidence throughout the process. With a $189,200 loan, AltaOne helped make Britany’s dream a reality. More than financing a business acquisition, this support allowed a single mother to transition from employee to entrepreneur, creating a path toward long-term stability and the potential for generational wealth for her family. At the same time, AltaOne helped preserve a valued local service, ensuring Bakersfield Carpet Cleaning could continue serving the community it has long called home.
