“What’s the smartest move I’ve 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’s turned out well. It’s enhanced our ability to recruit good people because we have a more desirable place to work, and it’s improved capacity for storage and enhanced our image.”
Lou Buty, Owner and CEO
American Textile & Supply Inc.
“TMC made the process of getting an SBA 504 loan easy and comfortable. Working with them was a positive experience – they were clear and straight forward with information, always responding immediately to my calls. Great customer service.”

“For a small company like ours, being able to buy our own office has been very exciting. It’s something we thought about a lot but were never sure if we could financially make it work. With TMC’s 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.”

“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 Development for SBA financing. Kellie Stroud worked tirelessly with us and basically held my hand through the entire transaction making sure we hit all our deadlines. Now we are proud owners of a terrific building and we have TMC and Kellie Stroud to thank for helping us reach this goal!”

“I couldn’t 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’ve ever been involved with. I couldn’t believe it happened so quickly.”
Dick Maksel, CFO and General Manager
V.J. Haavisto Enterprises
“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’m 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.”
Frank Tate
Super Franks Fun Adventure
“Working with Lou Scarpa and 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’s “created by parents for parents” to the San Francisco Bay Area. We couldn’t have done it without their help.”
Sherman Balch
