The new owner spent years leading operations in industrial and supply chain businesses and has taken companies through mergers before, so he knows how to step in without missing a beat. The crew that built the shop is staying on to keep it running, and we put the acquisition and working capital together so production never had to slow down. Thank you for trusting T Bank with it.

If you are thinking about buying a business of your own, I am always glad to talk.

The right operator can step into an industry that is new to them when the business is built on organization and discipline. This buyer led complex projects for years and has owned and run companies of his own, so we knew he could carry this one forward. We financed the acquisition of the event business and its affiliate together so he could run them as a single company. Congratulations to the new owner.

If you're writing a rent check every month, you're building someone else's equity. The SBA 504 loan is the rent-replacement play: swap the rent you'll never see again for a mortgage on a building you own — long terms, low fixed rates, and a smaller down payment than most expect.

Curious what that'd look like for your business? Drop a comment or send me a message — happy to run the numbers.

The owners came in already knowing the builders and contractors this business would sell to. We financed the inventory and working capital so they could meet that demand at full speed from the start. Congratulations to the team, and thank you for bringing me along.

If you have the relationships and need capital to act on them, reach out and let's talk.

Most people assume you need 20%+ down for an SBA loan. You don't. Here's what the number actually looks like.

DFW showed up for the Lending Connections Mixer hosted by T Bank.

What began as a simple idea — bring together like-minded professionals from across the lending ecosystem — turned into a room full of real conversation and genuine connection.

The turnout said it all: bankers, brokers, advisors, insurance pros, and COIs from every corner of the lending world, all in one place, trading ideas and building relationships that matter. That's the Dallas–Fort Worth market at its best.

A special thank you to our sponsors, Todd Camhe of Oak Proof and Chad Powell of Powell Insurance Group LLC. Your partnership made the evening what it was.

If you missed this one, here's the good news: it's just the start. We're already planning the next Lending Connections Mixer — and Houston, you're on our radar.

Stay tuned. We're just getting started.

I talk to operators every week who've built careers running other people's businesses. The ones who take the leap into ownership tend to have two things in common: hard-earned expertise and the right financing partner.

Glad to have been that partner on this acquisition. If you're thinking about your own next chapter, I'm ready to talk.

Partner buyouts make sense when one person is doing the heavy lifting. This borrower has been growing this thing since 2021 — systems, warehousing, routes. He was ready to own it outright. 7(a) got it done.
If you're thinking about buying out a partner, call me.

You negotiated the lease. You built out the space. You made it yours — on someone else's terms.

At some point, every business owner asks the question: what if I just owned it?

That's exactly what the SBA 504 is designed for. Lower down payments. Fixed rates. Long-term stability. It's not a workaround — it's a strategy.

If your business is ready to stop paying someone else's mortgage, let's talk.
