My brother and I have a independent regionally touring band. From that we started a company to distribute our music and merchandise. We began looking for funding to help start our website and purchase product. We ran into Synergy Pro Consulting and talked to one of their consultants about their services. They explained how much government grant money was available for music and arts and vowed to help us find some help. We fully explained to them our business and situation and after some convincing we paid them $6900 to help us; they explained we would get the $6900 back when we received grants in the range of $40, 000- $90, 000. Their service consisted of about 7 half hour weekly phone sessions where some woman, who had no idea what our business was, who took me to different government websites and showed me how to register.

Further in to these sessions I explained that our business was a FOR PROFIT independent record label. She wanted to change our entire business by switching to a NON-PROFIT community driven music group. There are not grants for for-profit record labels, we fully explained our business and intentions to Synergy Pro Consultants before signing up and they were so positive we could find something. The people I initially worked with did not work at this company about 3 months later. I have tried calling and calling this company with no response. I have been ripped off. This company sold me on an unrealistic dream of receiving free money for performing art. This situation has put a major strain in my brother and I's relationship as well as other family members who helped fund our startup. We have been violated by this company. Thank you Synergy Pro Consulting for tearing my family apart.

I purchased a business for my sonwho was diagnosed with Asperger's Disease to help him be a productive member of society. Not long into starting the business I realized I had not taken out enough of a loan to ehlp with all the start up costs. So I went on line to look for grants. The next thing I new Synergy Pro Consulting Services were calling me. They made all kinds of promises about how much grant money I could qualify for and that with their help I could start seeing money come in in the next few months. Well I fell for it. Here I was a full time mother to 2 small children, full time nurse and full time business owner trying to find a little help. Well all I got was more in debit and more time away from my family. When I tried to reach Mel Feller all I got was that it was my fault. That I did not put enough time into it. That I did not search the right areas. But I was never given real help.
