by a lender from Florida State University in St. Petersburg, FL, USA
Helo all - has been a while since I have introduced myself to the platform and wanted to circle back for all newcomers & other SearchFunders!
I am a SBA Lender @ First Bank of the Lake, a top 20 institution with the ability to lend nationwide. I specialize in any franchise start-up or franchise expansion deals, as well as commercial real estate requests. With $15MM+ funded YTD, it is a pleasure to work with entrepreneurs and franchisees in an array of markets to help elevate them to their respective next steps!
Would be a pleasure to connect with any prospects whom are looking at franchise or commercial real estate opportunities, or want to connect just to learn a bit more about SBA lending and criteria!
