Meet Joe

After having a stroke, Joe had to make a critical decision affecting his livelihood. Years before, his excavation equipment had been acquired under a lease-purchase program and the time had come to either pay the residual on it or give back the machine.

“This situation happened at the same time the economy was souring. It was impossible to get a
bank loan,” said Joe. “I had heard about Able Up Iowa through Iowa Compass and thought I would give them a try. I’m usually skeptical of organizations that talk a good show but never follow through. This wasn’t the case with Iowa Able,” said Joe.

“Able Up Iowa has been the enabling financial resource to get myself back to work. My recommendation to people is to try Able Up Iowa. They believed in my idea and came through for me when I needed them most.”
