Greetings!

Welcome to the first edition of LendingConnect.  The bimonthly newsletter will focus on creative financing, 504 rates, stories and partnerships -- we hope you find it interesting and useful. In this issue, learn more about a recent 504 loan approval in Erie, key topics of interest for 2013, and a story about one of our borrowers.  Also, a big "thank you" to our referral sources listed in the left-hand column -- your referrals resulted in recently approved loans, and we appreciate your support!
504 Loan to Construct New Hotel in Erie
Erie - view from RTThe Deal: New construction on an  extended-stay hotel providing modern, eco-conscious accommodations for business and vacation travelers in Erie.
  • Total Project Cost: $6.22 million
  • Erie Bank: $3.12 million
  • Bridgeway CDC: $1.87 million
Why 504?

The SBA 504 Loan allowed the borrower to receive long-term, low-interest, fixed-rate financing for the hotel construction.  It also allowed the bank to make a large loan while mitigating the higher level of risk associated with the hotel industry -- a win-win for everyone.  

  
Learn more about SBA 504 loans, eligibility, and benefits on our website, and please email us (T.J. King - Erie; Ryan Lockhart - Pittsburgh) with questions and referrals -- we hope to work with you!

Growing Manufacturers
Creative Financing Supports Manufacturer of Cycling Apparel
Aerotech storefrontAero Tech Designs opened in 2008 as a designer and manufacturer of bicycling apparel. Located in Coraopolis, the company emphasizes high technical quality, performance and comfort in its apparel, as well as a line of made-in-USA products.  

In 2012, Aero Tech Designs expanded and needed to purchase equipment to accommodate a new print shop. With a loan from Bridgeway Capital and Catalyst Connection through a
program for manufacturers in Allegheny County, the company received a competitive financing rate.  To complete the expansion, Aero Tech Designs also received critical financing from the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission. Today the company continues to thrive -- they are adding jobs, updating designs, and creating new high visibility and reflective garments this year.
