Linda cut her teeth in her father’s insurance agency in the mid-1980’s with a typewriter, carbon-copy paper forms and a mad dash to the post office to snail-mail applications via certified mail!

Linda was determined to blaze her own trail after college and start a new adventure. In 1990, she found herself in Atlanta and dove headfirst into a successful career. Guess which industry? You got it! INSURANCE. What a happy accident!

  • I cannot give Aurora Consulting and Linda Rey enough stars. I work in a very small niche field and for years we had been searching for someone who "gets us" and what we are looking for in our marketing, social media and website. I was starting to give up hope (we tried a lot of people), nothing seemed to be the right fit. Then, one day, I was introduced to Linda. She is creative and her mind never stops rolling, she takes a video of a simple meeting and is able to make something great! She has increased our presence in just a short time and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Aurora to any business looking to up there game!

  • Working with Linda Rey has been invaluable. She has shown me how less can be more (my original copies were way too long.) Graphics matter. Audiences are more engaged with strong graphics. Consistency matters. Linda has helped me set up a process to more consistent with my social media. Video works. Consumers love live crisp authentic video. When you partner with Linda you work with a professional in the business who will help make your business better and grow your revenues...and you will have a lot of fun working with her!

  • Trevor and Linda have helped us attain financing to grow our small business. Their professionalism and network of resources are remarkable. I highly recommend Aurora consulting for all your commercial financing needs.

  • Thank you for being the beacon that small business’ can rely on, to help them navigate the unchartered Covid-19 waterways….

  • Shut out of the first round of PPP funding by my local bank of 20 years — along with most other truly small businesses — and with another 310 billion of funding coming into the picture that would fly out the door, I realized I was going to need some street savvy to break into the application process. Trevor Curran and Linda Rey at Aurora Consulting not only have the experience and industry knowledge, they’re also good people, truly dedicated to their clients. Within 24 hours of the release of fresh funding, I had an accepted application by a new lender, and had submitted all requested documentation. They hit the ground running as soon as I called, and didn’t pause until we crossed the finish line. Finance rock stars extraordinaire!!

  • It is with GREAT pleasure that I write this review of Aurora Consulting. I was referred to them and they have been Effective and Efficient. These are very stressful times for us Small Business Owners  having to close our Businesses, deal with financial losses  and then having to navigate through the SBA programs available to us.Not only did  Aurora learn the ever changing EIDL and the PPP process,  Trevor responded to all of my calls, emails or texts in speedy fashion.  In fact, we communicated constantly and he was reassuring throughout the entire time. They  were successful in securing an EIDL Grant and PPP loan approval for my business.  I am so impressed with their work ethic that  I look forward to working with them to securing my business credit line as the economic climate changes.

  • It's taking me 2 days to find words to describe my feelings towards you and the fact that for the first time in 22 years of being in my own business I finally found a company that understands the struggles a small business goes through to obtain funding or help when it comes to line of credits or loans. I for one can't express my gratitude for all the help and you have giving me during the COVID-19 Pandemic its not about the money or how much my company got its the fact that you guys were there for me when ever I had a question and needed explanation or clarification you were always there to answer address my concerns and guide me to the right decision. I truly appreciate you and believe this is a start to a prospers and success relationship between your company and mine, so once again thank you so very much for all you do.

  • There are not enough words to describe the dogged determination - coupled with a deep concern for customers - that Aurora Consulting has demonstrated during this unprecedented crisis. They worked diligently on helping me find emergency funding at a time when I had to focus on my business and my family. I had tremendous peace of mind knowing Trevor and Linda were working on my behalf. I would recommend them to anyone considering their services. An incredible team dedicated to serving others!
