Quotable Moments from the Show

  • "I've always liked it [SBA Loans] because it allows us to do a couple of things that bankers aren't known for, and that's being creative and flexible. So always try and keep one foot in SBA lending." - Cashin White

  • "The first question that I will encourage business owners to ask a bank if they're looking for an SBA loan is, are you a preferred SBA lender? And what really that means is SBA is giving a designation authority to the bank to make the final credit decisions." - Gonzo Garzon

  • "As business owners, sometimes you come across opportunities and maybe you don't have the cash really to buy that property or that building that you wanted to buy at that time, because, you know, typically a conventional, we require you 20 or 25%. Then boom, then you can use SBA because today you only have 10, 15% to you." - Gonzo Garzon

  • "The best way you can show well to your lending institution is that you've got your stuff together and that's going to manifest in the quality of your financials and the timeliness of it." - Cashin White

  • If growth is your goal, attaching your wagon to the right horse early on is very important." - Cashin White
