Local Kitchen in Tennessee Receives $3MM SBA Loan for Business Expansion
We are proud to have helped a local kitchen in Williamson County, Tennessee see their dreams of expanding their at-home business come to life. Focusing on gourmet homemade meals that families can conveniently purchase and then cook at home became a staple for the community and beyond. The commercial kitchen in their home no longer fit the bill and the client needed to purchase a building in order to expand and keep up with demand. Our team was able to assist the client by helping them secure a $3,022,000 SBA loan. Our expertise was able to guide the client through the expectations and requirements of SBA loan products - allowing them to close as quickly as possible.

June 2026 DealTalk: Mastering the Pitch: The Anatomy Of a Perfect Deal Presentation
"It's about learning the basics - blocking and tackling." - Terry Luker
On the latest episode of the DealTalk podcast, Terry Luker and Jeff Luker discussed the anatomy of deal presentation. Did you know that being a Commercial Loan Broker means that you are not only an advocate for your clients but also a trusted resource for your lenders? When a commercial loan broker brings a new deal to the table, it's always worth ensuring that the deal is complete when presented. This not only assists the lender in understanding more about the deal, but also about the borrower and the deal's story - ultimately getting it to the closing table quicker and more easily.
Learn more about how to build a complete deal as well as how to present it to the lender with the full story intact by listening in on the latest episode of DealTalk!
