166 – Why Building Relationships With Your Bank Is Essential For Business Growth with Paul Long
Today’s guest on this Scale Your Small Business episode is Paul Long, a business banking leader with 24 years of experience who works with business owners across Washington State. He is partnered with Gisa Credit Union (the second largest credit union in the state), where he is their SBA lending manager. His goal is to assist small businesses in restructuring their balance sheet, purchasing equipment, or acquiring another business. Most importantly, he helps businesses stop renting and instead purchase their own commercial real estate. He does this through the government guarantee programs and the US Small Business Administration (SBA) which provides lower down payments and longer terms than conventional financing.
