They were easy to reach and responsive and kept the purchase moving forward.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmcfinancing.com\/es\/groceries-4-less\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Bryan Solus, Owner, Groceries 4 Less<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>Owning my facility in Poway has been truly empowering.

When we met with John it just felt like the right people to do business with, people we could trust to take us through that process and also close the deal.<\/p>\r\n<p>John was very nurturing in terms of all the gears and knobs that come with a deal like this. He and TMC really coached us through it &#8211; and did it very quick. It was awesome.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Alan Wang, Owner, KC HiLites<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Working with Jim was great. The 10 percent down was very appealing and buying a building and not paying rent to a landlord is so rewarding. We&#8217;re investing in the property, not just paying someone else&#8217;s mortgage.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Karly Urata, Owner, K&amp;K Construction<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>We did not think we would qualify for the SBA 504 loan, but Geoff and the TMC team guided us every step of the way. We would not have been able to afford to buy our building without this loan program and the 10 percent down payment.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Mark McKinney, Owner, Hold Fast Reptiles<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>\u201cOur production was maxed out, that&#8217;s how well we were doing, We couldn&#8217;t grow anymore because our machinery was limited. TMC helped us buy new equipment, and that tripled our output.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Bill Hall, Co-Owner Hart Food Products<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmcfinancing.com\/es\/contact\/sba-southern-california\/\">Jennifer<\/a> was amazing. She&#8217;s so on top of it, she was always so responsive &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t have asked for a better person on my team. She really makes you feel like you&#8217;re the only person she&#8217;s working with.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Dr. Nicole Mahanian, Tranquilo Dental<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Bruce and the TMC team get 5+ stars. They were approachable, responded immediately to questions, and helped us find the best solution when issues came up. They were always a pleasure to talk to.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Nick Hoppe, Owner of Ocean Beach Sportswear<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Kurt was a tremendous help. This was uncharted territory for us so he led the way. He helped us get a competitive rate from the first mortgage lender and made sure we closed quickly to meet the seller&#8217;s deadline. He has been a fantastic resource for us.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jere Van Puffelen, Co-founder and President, Prism Logistics<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Kurt was absolutely excellent. He was fast, communicative, and always clear. He worked smoothly with our other bank and even arranged the appraisals for us. His help and expertise allowed us to complete the project with efficiency.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Manoj Vuriti, Safari Kid<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Jim was a key player in helping me obtain financing to\u00a0purchase my building. I had never bought a building before so Jim came in, took the reins, and guided me all the way to the finish line.\u00a0He helped me find a good first lender when my other one backed out. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Every time I reached out to Jim, he was there to give me the best advice. We&#8217;re a small family owned business that never had a chance to own our building but because of TMC Financing, it happened.\u00a0Jim and the entire TMC team are beyond fantastic.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Ralph Jensen, Owner, Jensen Fasteners<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>TMC must stand for Terrific aMazing Company. They are FANTASTIC. A friend referred me to them, and they helped me get a loan in absolute record time. Every time we emailed, they responded within minutes (even late in the evening), highly professional, and super helpful. If you need their services for any reason whatsoever, Do Not Hesitate. They\u2019re great.<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jonathan Bender, Owner, WholeSpeak<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>My happy client relationship with this company started just a week ago, and in that time they secured me a life saving PPP loan for my small company, and did the same for TWO Non profits serving un privileged kids, plus some individuals I referred. None of us even had a prior client relationship, and a couple of the loans were so small they probably practically lost money on doing them. Kurt Chambliss was incredibly kind, professional and responsive. From what I saw, these are GOOD PEOPLE. Their service just blew away BofA, Chase, PayPal, First Republic, and several others, just a world of difference on customer service and follow through. Incredible 24 hour or less turn time, alerting us when loan numbers were received at all hours, on and on. I don\u2019t know yet what all services they offer, but this is my new go-to financial services company for whatever they do.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Matthew Fraser, Owner, Education Unlimited<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I want you to know and I\u2019m not embarrassed to tell you that yesterday\u2019s approval email had me sobbing. I have been in business since 1986, I\u2019ve followed all the rules, paid all the taxes, reported every dime of income, survived a couple recessions, and been honest with my employees and customers. To be told I can\u2019t work and to sit and watch my business die has been emotionally exhausting and super frustrating.<\/p>\r\n<p>The CARES funding was to help small businesses so when I read the news that organizations like Shake Shack, The Lakers, and other larger companies received the first round of funding had me ready to throw in the towel. I applied through Bank of America who I\u2019ve banked with for twenty five years within the first hour of the program and to this day have not heard one thing other than my application was complete.<\/p>\r\n<p>So thank you for listening, thank you for the help, thank you for reaching out, THANK YOU! I will complete the paperwork this morning and like always pay my obligations. This will help my small business survive.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Kevin McKee, Owner, Okell\u2019s Fireplace<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC facilitated the SBA loan that enabled us to purchase the building we now occupy in Hayward, California. TMC was fabulous-so many other lenders back then told us NO, and TMC made it happen for us. The real estate purchase was by far, the single most beneficial business move we have ever made, and TMC navigated us through a loan process we thought impenetrable.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Scott Drnek, Owner, Virtuoso Performance<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>It&#8217;s been a long process, from us deciding to purchase our own building and now completing the SBA funding. The SBA mechanism is a great tool to encourage small businesses like us to get the support they need to provide much needed services to our communities. Thanks for what you do!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Maria Osmena, Owner, Livewell Medical Clinic<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>The SBA is stable, no-nonsense and has locked in rates which gives us projectable expenses. They share the forward-looking mentality that we have, which is encouraging growth and diversity. If you partner with a good loan expert like TMC Financing, they will help you see it through and that makes us a better company in the long run. There was no question or problem I had that I didn&#8217;t get an immediate response on\u2026that makes us both win<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Dr. John Kenny, Owner, Northwest Career College<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>It\u2019s been a dream working with your institution. You\u2019ve taken away all the scary nightmare stories away from the SBA process.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Linda Fong, Owner FASTSIGNS<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Working with Jim Azevedo was great. I worked with at least a dozen different bankers and agents on this project and Jim was by far the most pleasant to work with. Jim seemed easy going and professional and always kept on top of the situation. I always felt that Jim was trying his hardest to achieve our goal of purchasing the property.\u00a0The loan is a great help to us. Being able to secure a permanent home for our business was very important to us. We can now concentrate on running and expanding the company and not worry about the cost of rent always going up or if we were going to be forced to relocate at the end of a lease.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; David, Bear Label Machine, Inc.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I am very pleased with TMC. We were able to obtain excellent financing with great terms, and have nothing but positive feedback on the experience! TMC made it incredibly easy, and their extensive experience processing SBA loans enabled me to continue running my business rather than get bogged down with the process of obtaining a loan.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; M. Eric Schlienger Ph.D., President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>We couldn\u2019t have done this without the help and support we received from everyone at TMC.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; William Johnston, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>. . .professionalism, expertise and unsurpassed levels of service. My dream of owning an office building to house my company has now come true, and everyone at TMC was an integral part of making that happen.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Steve Trollope, CEO<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>SBA and TMC are helping me achieve my dreams.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Alton Butler, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>It was a real pleasure working with TMC on the purchase of our first commercial office building. Their staff was very knowledgeable and helpful and they went out of their way to help us understand the ins and outs of commercial real estate. We got a great loan at a great rate. That\u2019s TMC!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Yanick Fluhmann, Partner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC\u2019s expert and responsive staff helped us secure the financing we needed for Olivia\u2019s new San Francisco headquarters.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Judy Dlugacz, President &amp; Founder<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC explained everything clearly and the process went so smoothly that before I knew it we had our loan approved and we bought our building. With the SBA 504 loan, we were able to lock in great long-term fixed rate financing that puts us in control of our occupancy costs, not a landlord!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Gary Boland, Partner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I was impressed at how knowledgeable and efficient everyone I spoke to at TMC was. The TMC team made this purchase happen for me on a very tight timeline.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Paul Hockett, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>We had a purchase contract with a 30-day contingency and no possibility of extension. Our real estate broker said\u00f7TMC was a first-rate company that always delivered.\u00f7TMC handled everything. They obtained both the lender and SBA commitment in less than 30 days, and made the entire process seem effortless.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Judith Thompson, CEO<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>\u2026remarkably proficient, very professional and customer-service oriented, and they made sure the loan process went incredibly smoothly. This was so helpful since we are small business owners and were extremely busy throughout the entire process. TMC and our bank worked so well together as a team and thankfully, we did not have to duplicate the paperwork. We will highly recommend TMC for the ease in which we were able to obtain the SBA 504 loan.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Roger &amp; Lillian Peters, Owners<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I have been referring owner-users to TMC Development for SBA financing for over 15 years. When working with prospective buyers for build-to-suit projects, we can always rely on TMC\u2019s pre-qualification and that they will handle the entire SBA process from beginning to end.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jack Balch<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC really made the loan process easy for me and I am enjoying being my own landlord!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Zach Adelman, Founder &amp; CEO<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Phan and I would like to thank everyone at TMC for all of your help, you made it seem so smooth and easy. Thank you again for everything.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Esther Hutchinson<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC did awesome! Bruce Whitaker gave us a very thorough explanation of what products were available in the purchase of our building and educating us about how the process would go. Because of his experience we were able to identify and avoid potential hurdles. TMC has been fantastic.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Tina Burke, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>What\u2019s the smartest move I\u2019ve made for my business? Buying my building in Richmond with an SBA 504 loan. We bought a brand-new, state-of-the-art building, a $2.6 million investment. It\u2019s turned out well. It\u2019s enhanced our ability to recruit good people because we have a more desirable place to work, and it\u2019s improved capacity for storage and enhanced our image.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Lou Buty, Owner and CEO<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>For a small company like ours, being able to buy our own office has been very exciting. It\u2019s something we thought about a lot but were never sure if we could financially make it work. With TMC\u2019s help and the 90% financing provided by the SBA 504 loan, we not only are able to own an office now, we also were able to retain enough working capital to upgrade our high definition video equipment. The SBA 504 loan has really made a difference for our small business, and working with Ann Santiago at TMC has been wonderful.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Norman Nusbaum, Director of Production<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC made the process of getting an SBA 504 loan easy and comfortable. Working with them was a positive experience. They were clear and straightforward with information, always responding immediately to my calls. Great customer service.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Racquel Toyozaki, President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Thank you for your help and diligence to see this deal to the end. This is a BIG deal in our lives and has big effects as a result. Thank you TMC!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Dan Blue, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Job well done! All of you at TMC have been on top of our account and never faltered. We truly appreciate your efforts and attention to detail to make this happen for us. Many thanks to the TMC team.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Henry Gong, Vice President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>After 40 years of running our business and renting warehouse space in Oakland, my business partner and I decided it was about time we purchased a building to accommodate and foster our continued growth. Luckily for us we were referred to TMC for SBA financing. Now we are proud owners of a terrific building and we have TMC to thank for helping us reach this goal!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Rebecca Fleenor, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Throughout the entire process, I felt fully supported by TMC\u2019s expert team. Each member I encountered contributed to the ease and success of my transaction. It was a pleasure doing business with TMC.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jen Oliver, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Now that the dust has started to settle, I really would like to thank Bruce, Stella and Nina for the heroic efforts that they put in to make our funding possible. We had an extremely complicated loan, with nine parties, and a very limited time to close escrow. The TMC team pulled off an amazing collection and review of literally hundreds and hundreds of pages of supporting documents, coordinated with our purchaser, loan agents and met our deadline. Your team was outstanding in every way, courteous, competent, conscientious and always completely professional. We thank you all immensely for making our new office possible!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; David K. Trager, M.D.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC far exceeded my expectations. Their process was clear and concise. The staff at TMC was friendly, helpful and always available. I could not have asked for better service. I have and will continue to recommend TMC.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jose Corona, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Working with TMC to finance a new building for my business has been amazing. TMC has a great team. It\u2019s been a very easy process. Everyone at TMC who I worked with was terrific and made things very clear.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jonas Bernstein, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I was actually quite nervous about applying for the SBA loan, but that all changed within 10 minutes of being at the TMC offices. We were greeted with a wonderful smile, given a great tasting coffee and then walked through the process with great ease by the staff. I remember getting back on BART and being amazed at what a wonderful time I had just experienced. I\u2019m not sure if all SBA loans go as well as ours did, but I do know the TMC team treated us like royalty and made the process unbelievably easy. It is rare in this age to be able to give a completely positive recommendation, but TMC definitely has earned mine.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Frank Tate<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I couldn\u2019t have been more pleased with the way the loan went. TMC was wonderful, the staff was nice to work with and extremely accommodating. I was an accountant for over 40 years and did hundreds of SBA loans, this was the easiest one I\u2019ve ever been involved with. I couldn\u2019t believe it happened so quickly.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Dick Maksel, CFO and General Manager<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Having had previous experience with other SBA lenders, I was extremely pleased at the great service and loan terms provided by TMC. Everyone at TMC was extremely helpful and the process went smoothly once they became my lender.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Dwight Eschliman, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Working with the TMC staff was a pleasure. They made a process that I thought would be extremely paper-intensive seem easy. The SBA loan allowed us to purchase and renovate a 34,000 square foot building to bring our vision of a Family Entertainment Center that\u2019s created by parents for parents to the San Francisco Bay Area. We couldn\u2019t have done it without their help.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Sherman Balch<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I have really enjoyed working with TMC. We just obtained our second loan from TMC and it was another great experience. Both times it was a process the people at TMC walked us through. Everyone who helped us was extremely competent, responsive, helpful and thorough. I would highly recommend TMC to anyone.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Vicki Thorpe, CFO<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>To put it in a nutshell TMC was great! I liked everyone who came out here. They explained everything about the loan and made it easy. If they can make it easy for a guy like me to understand that means they did a terrific job!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Mark Latino, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC was stellar. I have no complaints, only compliments. Everyone was very professional and did a terrific job.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Michael Katsch, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC\u2019s David Griffis made it easy, and it was a fairly complicated situation. Throughout the process, we felt we were working with partners who actually cared about us and our business.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Brian Wilson, Co-owner; Stephen Sears, Co-owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC helped us close the deal with the best possible rate and terms. We\u2019re now able to invest in ourselves and control our own destiny as we grow our company.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Harry Kazazian, CEO<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>What I really appreciated in working with TMC was that I was given very individual attention that was very consistent, with one key person to work with, whereas very often when working with banks I\u2019ve found that you end up with three to five different people involved in the process, and that can lead to some miscommunication.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jim Clark<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC helped us purchase our previous building, they\u2019re great at moving the loan along.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Steve Doyle, President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC is very professional and they\u2019re willing to take a risk. They trusted me as a businessman, and they were willing to help.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Byong Yu, President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Thank you for making this process so simple and straightforward. It\u2019s been a pleasure doing business with you.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Simon Lewis, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC and their team were great to work with. They helped us secure a 504 SBA loan to buy our new corporate office building in Las Vegas. Without their help, we would not have been able to secure the funding required to make a purchase like that in this financial environment. Not only were they a pleasure to work with but they turned it around in record speed which helped me secure some of the lowest financing rates ever. I highly recommend TMC and their SBA 504 program to anyone considering financing.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jade M. Anderson, CEO<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>It was a pleasure working with TMC. I am sure to return again for another planned purchase within a couple of years.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jason Lee, President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I want thank you all. Without SBA, it is not possible for a small business like us to obtain such large loan, especially with the current economic situation. I want to thank TMC very much for bringing the possibility to me (I had never heard of this program before). I want to also thank the U.S. government for offering such wonderful resource for all small businesses.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Jane Yang<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>TMC has been critical in the success and growth of Advanced Chemical Transport. They have made it possible for us to purchase three of our own facilities, grow our business and control our own destiny. ACT received the most competitive rates and ALL the escrows were closed on time with no hassles, even-though some of them were not straightforward. Much thanks to the TMC team!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Walt Singer, Founder and President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>My relationship with TMC spans 14 years and three separate loans. We have just completed the move of our restaurant onto Fourth Street in Berkeley. Given the financial crisis this was a Herculean effort, which I don\u2019t think would have been possible without TMC\u2019s guidance and expertise. The growth of my business has been due to our real estate acquisitions and TMC has been a vital part of each of those transactions. I have come to rely on them as being a vital business partner and advisor especially when it comes to our real estate holdings.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Amod Chopra, President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>We look at the SBA and TMC as long-term partners. It\u2019s not just a transactional relationship; we see it as what\u2019s next and what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Donald Slater, Co-founder &amp; CFO<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>It has been a pleasure working with you all. Thank you and if we can ever refer you guys we will do so, and with a lot of enthusiasm.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Rudy LeKar, Owner<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Thank you so much for everything! You have no idea what this means to my family. I cannot thank all of you at TMC more for all your dedication and hard work. On behalf of my mother and my sister, we sincerely appreciate the opportunity you have provided us.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211; Cynthia Kim-So, President<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>We were previously renting our space with limited resources available. Looking to expand our spa and obtain some sort of financial security against rising rent costs, we enlisted TMC to assist us with getting an SBA 504 loan. Now, we are reaping the long-term benefits of owning our spa while implementing a business plan that would not have been possible without this major investment.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8211;
