US Veteran Acquires Specialty Garage Flooring Company with $325,000 SBA Loan
“Jeff Sherry and the team at 44 Business Capital took a tough situation and made it palatable. The SBA process was nothing like the war stories I have heard about. I had everything in order, but they streamlined every aspect of the loan process.”

CHALLENGE
Military Service: 1986 - 1999 Steve received his Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from The United States Military Academy at West Point in New York. He served in the U.S. Army as a Captain and Aviator/Logistics Officer. While in service, he improved the equipment readiness rate to 97% from the Army's required 90%, reduced suspense due date backlog from 50% overdue to 1% within a month, and led a team that was selected as the Army Aviation Association of America's Unit of the Year. Steve also served as starting offensive lineman for Army's Football Team.
Steve was looking to acquire the only Floorguard franchise location on the east coast. As a Veteran, he has a long term vision of getting other Vets set up with franchises in the Mid Atlantic. The biggest challenge was a lack of collateral to secure the loan. 44 Business Capital worked with Parke Bank to structure an SBA 7a loan to facilitate Steve's acquisition of this particular Floorguard operation. Steve's impressive resume, management experience and military background were all strong mitigants enabling Parke Bank and 44 Business Capital to look beyond the collateral shortfall.
