Absolutely first class service from Shane, he made me feel comfortable talking about my situation and the advice he gave me was above and beyond what I was expecting.
Thank you again
I’ve rarely come across a professional as insightful, composed, and genuinely supportive as Justin Barker. During a particularly stressful and uncertain time, his guidance was not only practical but also deeply reassuring. He instinctively understood the pressures I was facing and helped me navigate them with clarity and confidence.
Justin’s ability to listen, assess, and offer well-balanced, strategic advice is exceptional. His approach at Business Rescue reflects true professionalism and a sincere commitment to the people he helps. I trusted him wholeheartedly, and he exceeded every expectation.
If you are facing a difficult business situation and need someone who brings both expertise and empathy to the table, I can’t recommend Justin highly enough.
Shane at 1st Business Rescue was incredibly helpful, honest, and supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and provided practical, straightforward advice with genuine care.
