Nestled on a plateau in the picturesque Little Tennessee River Valley of North Georgia, The Dillard House boasts a breathtaking view of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Known as the oldest mountains in North America, Blue Ridge gets its name from the enchanting blue-gray fog that wisps through the hills, sometimes obscuring the sun. Guests of The Dillard House can enjoy this natural spectacle from the front porch and, depending on the season and available light, will witness colors of blue, gray, purple or silver. No matter the time of year, it truly is a memorable vision. Beauty abounds at The Dillard House. Their newly renovated guestrooms, charming suites and cottages, and secluded mountainside chalets are surrounded with nature’s splendor and fragrance throughout the year. No matter the season, nature provides a backdrop of brilliant color.

STRATEGIC INSIGHTS RADIO: Don’t Give Up Even If A Bank Won’t Give You A Loan

Vlad Rusz and Brian Peart

Vlad Rusz and Brian Peart

Don’t Give Up, Even If a Bank Won’t Give You A Loan.

On this episode of “Stategic Insights Radio”, sponsored by Maid Right of Duluth, Sterling Rose Consulting Corp CEO and host Vlad Rusz discusses what funding alternatives exist for small to large size businesses when a bank turns them down for funding.

Vlad’s special guest is Brian Peart, the CEO and Owner of Commercial Capital, a division of the Nexus Financial Group. It was started almost six years ago by Brian to capitalize on the commercial loan requests he was getting from his residential customers. Prior to opening Commercial Capital, Brian Peart worked in the same industry specifically focused on residential lending since 1995.

This episode of “Strategic Insights Radio” answers these and other important questions including:

1) When should a business start looking for funding?
2) What funding sources are available to any size business?
3) What happens if you are rejected? Are their alternatives?
4) Is every bank the right choice for you?
5) What is the timing on getting a loan?
6) What monetary expectations are required for getting a loan?

BRIAN PEART/COMMERCIAL CAPITAL LIMITED

Commercial Capital Limited is a division of Nexus Financial Group. It was started almost six years ago by Brian L. Peart to capitalize on the commercial loan requests they were getting from their residential customers. Over the years, they have learned the nuances of the commercial lending arena and now have the team in place to provide the great rates and flexibility of a broker with the underwriting knowledge of direct lenders. In so doing, they can fill the void between the local commercial bank with its slow approvals, rigid terms, zero follow-up and restrictive criteria and the “hard money” lenders who will give you 15%+ rates. In fact, they will help structure the deal and can often get the loan approved with banks and lenders that you would be unable to get done. Plus, they are now correspondent lenders with several national banks, which means better pricing for you and your clients. They also have access to all of the nationwide lenders and direct conduits to Wall Street money. As the numbers of deals they handle grow, and the database of lenders that respect their underwriting grows, their ability to provide truly the finest service and terms available is reaching new highs. When you bring your deal to Commercial Capital Limited, you are getting a partner that will help you get the right deal for your dream. At Commercial Capital Limited, no dream is too big!
