TESTOMONIALS
Our clients say it best! Read testimonials from our clients to see what it’s like working with us and learn what they’ve been able to achieve with their businesses.
Wanda Alexander – Former co-owner of Horizon Consulting Founder and owner of Wanda Alexis Alexander, LLC
It is with great pleasure and much honor to provide this testimonial for Mr. Kwesi Rogers!
I have the distinct pleasure of knowing Kwesi since the mid-90s! What started as a very successful and profitable business relationship, has morphed into such mutual professional and personal admiration and friendship. When we first met, Kwesi’s professional assistance for my then fledgling government contracting business helped to keep us financially solvent through an invoice factoring arrangement. His professional introductions and banking relationships led us to our first major line of credit which eventually reached one million dollars. By far, Kwesi Rogers was instrumental in the enormous growth of our business and we’ve stayed connected throughout. As Kwesi grew, both professionally and personally, his light shone even brighter and his impact to others, both personally and professionally, expanded beyond the norm. He became President of the factoring company he was employed with when we met, eventually owned it, grew it, sold it and has now started yet another successful business, Kore Capital Corporation. He also started a membership organization whose sole intention was to support government contractors through the business ownership evolution. Kwesi is the consummate connector who make use of his great listening skills, wisdom, intellect and rare insight with each introduction. I have witnessed his growth as a business leader, husband, father, family and community member and Kwesi exhibits integrity, great character, professionalism and the best of intention in every role. It would be in anyone’s best interest to know and work with Kwesi Rogers!!.

Kwesi understands business financing. He has the experience to structure a financial relationship that meets your business objectives. As our business grew, Kwesi proposed a financing mechanism that perfectly fit the needs of the business. We enjoyed a fantastic working relationship with Kwesi that extended for many years. I highly recommend KORE Capital Corporation to any business owner or leadership team that wants to establish a truly beneficial partnership with a great financing company.
If you are a small business owner and your company is scaling in the business market of your dreams, do not look twice for a finance company that allows your dreams to become a reality! KORE Financial is your business partner!
My experience with KORE was extremely professional and came at a critical juncture when my organization RWD Consulting was growing. As my company continued to grow at a rapid pace, I needed the resources to make payroll, buy equipment, and establish the infrastructure needed to go to the next level. Kwesi Rogers and his team gave the financial support I needed and stuck with us during the critical time of our business scaling. It allowed us to get to the next level of financing needed by a small business in today’s economic climate. RWD is now a $30M Company!
KORE IS THE BRIDGE TO GETTING YOUR COMPANY TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
‘The KORE team, particularly Kwesi, was instrumental in tailoring the factoring service to meet our specific needs. Kwesi’s deep understanding of the GovCon industry allowed him to quickly grasp the unique challenges we were facing, such as managing cash flow for a rapidly growing payroll tied to government contracts. He was highly accessible throughout the process, providing clear communication and quick responses to our concerns. This hands-on approach ensured that the factoring solution was not only effective but also aligned with our business goals and timelines.
Working with KORE Capital. especially Kwesi, was a game-changer for our business. His knowledge of the GovCon space and his accessibility made the entire process seamless. The factoring service stabilized our cash flow, allowing us to focus on growing our business without worrying about payroll or operational delays. As our business continued to scale, we were even able to expand a banking relationship within 18 months, setting us up for long-term financial success!
