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.

CCB Client Refinances Loan with ACS to Secure Permanent Financing

This client, based out of Goldendale, Washington, started out as a customer of Commercial Capital BIDCO - our direct lending partner - where they currently had a 12-month note for a previous loan. Our team with Alternative Capital Solutions picked up the loan when the client was ready to seek permanent financing. During this process, we were able to lock in the refinance of this $507,000 loan by working with an additional lender to secure a HELOC that would aide the client in paying off a portion of credit card debt - allowing them to secure the permanent financing on the mixed-use rental space.

Our team at Alternative Capital Solutions has over 13 years experience moving short-term loans to permanent financing utilizing outside-the-box thinking and our national network of banks and lenders - allowing you to keep your banking relationship while we work to take your deal out of market.
