GTB Advisors has been a high value and trusted resource for our team at the Ohio Minority Business Development Agency. We have benefited significantly from the strategic guidance, extensive relationships and introductions provided since the 2021 launch of our MBDA center.  GTB Advisors has also been an excellent and reliable resource for helping us to identify numerous alternative funding and economic recovery sources for our growth stage MBEs.
