CLIENT REVIEWS

  • Sharae S., Founder of BKB Consulting

    “I highly recommend connecting with Laine and her team. Her plans, tips, and advice for your business are the fresh start or rebrand that you need. From clarifying my mission and vision to a full plan for the year with step-by-step instructions. It's almost impossible for me to fail at this point. Before meeting with Laine, I was confused. Piecing things together, seeing what works. Now I have exactly what I need to be successful in my company. Whether you're a new entrepreneur or a vet in need of something new, schedule a call with Laine. You will not be disappointed.”

  • Mary B., Founder La Muse Press

    “I highly recommend Laine Bradley and her team! She is an amazing grant writer and business strategist. I secured two business grants of $10,000 each from her advice and guidance. Laine does an excellent job of helping her clients communicate their value in a clear and compelling way. If you want to elevate your business and take it to the next level, you must work with Laine ASAP!”

  • Melanie O., Founder of Melden Tech

    “Laine Bradley’s trainings has helped me secure my first grant for my business! Before working with her, I wasn’t finding any grants for start-up businesses under one year. With her strategy and understanding of the industry, she showed me what I needed to do and exactly what to look for! I did the work, and within a week after working with her, I found my first opportunity and won!!”

  • Renika A., Executive Director of Resources Inspiring Success and Empowering

    “Laine was an amazingly professional proposal writer for my nonprofit. She had extensive knowledge of not only the technical writing process for federal, state, and local grants but also intervention and prevention strategies to highlight in our work. She was prompt and precise with her recommendations. We never find ourselves on a plateau of redundant opportunities. She was a complete blessing to the mission of our nonprofit. With her consulting firm, we secured over $700k in grant funding in 3 months, and she did not just drop off after we won, she still works with us beyond funding to keep us in compliance and ready for the next opportunity.”

  • Bridgette H., Founder of BE Connected Consulting

    “If I can do it, anyone can! This was my 1st attempt at applying for a grant for my girls’ empowerment group, G3. I attended Laine’s training for grant writing and took vigorous notes. This was one of the most to-the-point, no-frills, effective trainings I have ever been to. I have paid for trainings that weren't this clear cut! Laine walked us through the fundamentals of grant writing and building blocks and then encouraged us all to try to do one grant. She posted the grant alerts within the week of the training for a lot of different sectors. I researched (like she taught in the training) & had my plan READY! I could not believe that within a few months, I received an email stating that I had won the grant for over 20K.”

  • Cierra J., Founder of The Wealthy Veteran

    “Laine Bradley and the Vraiment Financial team played a pivotal role in helping my business secure our first grant of $5000. We couldn’t be more grateful for Laine’s expertise as well as guidance throughout the entire grant application process. Laine and her team are knowledgeable of the grant industry and gave us the tools needed to obtain funding to recover our business. We highly recommend Vraiment Financial in accelerating funding for your business, assisting in grant research, and timely submission of grant applications.”

  • Irene D., Founder of Hannah Financial and Hannah Financial Foundation

    “Vraiment Financial handles all of our grant writing and management for both the business and nonprofit organization. They are very organized, and their communication skills and attention to detail are unmatched. We were approved for our 501(c)(3) in a timely fashion and were awarded a total of $60,000 in grants utilizing their services to date.”

  • Tiffany G., Founder and CEO of Certify My Biz

    “Laine has taught thousands of members within my community about financial management, business funding, and grant funding for businesses and organizations. My clients and community members love her and her teaching style. She is always rich with resources and information. Not only were multiple clients of mine able to secure grant funding and get their finances in order but I also won a grant of $10,000 after her assistance and guidance. If you are not working with her, you are missing out.”

  • Abigail S., Founder of McKenley Rae

    “Laine came highly recommended and worked with me to secure my first grant for my company. Laine and her staff are diligent. They pay great attention to detail and worked extremely hard to understand the financial needs of my company before submitting grant applications on my behalf.”

  • Quiana C., CPB-I, CPB, Founder of Ask The Biller

    “After having a 1:1 strategy call with Vraiment Financial, I was about to become one of the award winners of a $10,000 grant with Fearless Fund. I am so impressed by the amount of information and resources that Laine Bradley and her team provide that I decided to hire her to train my community members on grant funding for their businesses. Her presentation was customized, very detailed, and she made sure to answer every question that was given that evening. Thank you for all of the inspiration and information you share.”

  • Adebisi A., Founder of Upliftology

    “I was able to book a 1:1 strategy call with Laine and her team, and the meeting made me realize that I did qualify for grant funding instead of looking for a business loan for my app. She gave me some amazing strategies and a clear strategy plan on how to research and win grants. A few months later, I was able to win two grants of $20,000 each from the state of Maryland and became a semi-finalist for the FedEx Small Business Grant. She always provides information that no one is sharing.”

  • Gerald M., Founder of Mission Fulfilled 2030

    “Without Vraiment Financial’s expertise and research support, we would’ve never secured the grant funding with Bank of America & Capital One. Their consistency, knowledge, and passion for community based organizations are unmatched. We look forward to continuing our work with them.”

  • Jequetta Z., Founder of Above New Medians

    “During the height of the pandemic, like most people, my company took many hits. This is why I was so thankful to have found such positive recommendations, like the one I'm writing, highlighting this marvelous businesswoman and business. With Laine's help, I was able to submit three grant proposals to the NC Public Safety Department, which awarded me over $150,000 within an 8-month timeframe. Not only did I receive the resources to keep my business afloat, but I was able to grow in knowledge and key resources to continue submitting grant proposals while also elevating my business to new heights into the 2023 year ahead. If you are looking for someone who is attentive, prompt, hard-working, and will get the job DONE RIGHT, I highly suggest to you, Mrs. Bradley.”

  • Cyntoni M., Founder of Black On The Job

    “We love working with Vraiment Financial on our company’s financial management. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They also make sure to keep us educated on the latest tax laws within the IRS and our state to keep us compliant. I have worked with Vraiment Financial through personal and business services and look forward to working with them again.”

  • Lauren M., Founder of Mills Consulting and Contracting

    “Laine Bradley and the Vraiment Financial team helped our company lower our tax burden from owing $17K to receiving a $1300 refund from the IRS. This was done though customized tax planning strategies, thorough research on the new tax credits and laws during COVID-19, and a genuine care about providing the best customer service experience for us as new business owners. Without a doubt, we recommend Laine and the Vraiment Financial team for tax planning, business management, and grant writing services.”
