Jyoti Foods Refinances Debt with $1,800,000 SBA Loan

“When a national bank got nervous about the finances at Jyoti Foods, it was 44 Business Capital that stepped in. Jyoti foods had losses in 2013-2015, due to a $1MM investment in new machinery and new products. While the big bank failed to see the difference between losses and investment, 44 Business Capital understood the difference and saw the potential. Phil Martin met with us, facilitated the preparation of the necessary documents, and orchestrated a new mortgage on our building as well as a Line of Credit for additional equipment and working capital. Since we closed our loan, Jyoti Foods has added ten more employees.Phil is very good to deal with, and is even better at getting things done. We look forward to raising more funds for new equipment and working capital via 44 Business Capital, with Phil Martin's participation.”
