Business was flourishing for Jose and his auto body shop in California, but the absence of a proper parking lot was hindering his ability to keep up with the rising demand. Half of the 5,000 sq. ft shop he rented was being utilized for car storage, while the other half was dedicated to repairs. Recognizing the need to expand, Jose began searching for a larger building. He came across a property for sale that offered a spacious 6,000 sq. ft workspace along with 5,000 sq. ft of parking space, equivalent to around 20 parking spots. In addition to providing ample room for his operations, the mortgage payment for this property would be only half of what he was paying in rent. The listed price for the property was $350,000, making it an appealing prospect for Jose. Initially, Jose approached a loan officer at another SBA lender for a commercial real estate loan. However, he faced a hurdle when he discovered that the lender's minimum loan amount for commercial real estate was $650,000. Given that this would be his first business loan, Jose was hesitant about taking on such a substantial debt. Fortunately, the loan officer at the competing loan provider set aside any rivalry and recommended Jose to their institution. Once Jose contacted his loan officer at Parker Financial Services, everything started falling into place. Within just 60 days of initiating the loan application, Jose found himself the proud owner of his new building.
Parker Financial Services was able to provide 90% financing, taking into account Jose's strong industry experience and the fact that the loan payment would be lower than his previous rent. With the move to the new building, Jose wasted no time in hiring two additional technicians to tackle the backlog of jobs that had accumulated over the past month. Moreover, the lower mortgage payment resulting from the loan proved to be a game-changer for Jose's business during the unforeseen arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. While three out of five competing auto body shops in the area closed due to the pandemic, Jose's business thrived with reduced competition and the ability to maintain "business as usual." Thanks to the support and financial relief provided by Parker Financial Services, Jose's auto body shop continues to prosper. The expanded facilities, increased staff, and affordable financing have played crucial roles in driving the success of his business.
