Success Stories
“The loans we received were essential, I honestly don’t know if we’d still be here right now without Pursuit’s help," says Stephanie MacIntosh.
“Pursuit has been great to work with, especially because our project ran into some challenges and many funders would have backed out. Pursuit knew where we wanted to go and how we wanted to make a difference and they stayed with us.”
With help from Pursuit, S&T Bank, and an SBA 504 loan, Jennifer, owner of Healing Hands, purchased a building in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania’s Historic District to offer massage and wellness services.
Once approved for an SBA 504 loan and a Pursuit SmartLoan, Karl and Kurt Hughes, twin brothers and former firefighters, sealed the deal on their historic brewery location.
“The overall experience was very positive. With Pursuit and my bank partnering on the SBA 504 refinance, we substantially lowered the interest rate. Now, I have funds in-hand to take advantage of new opportunities that may arise."
"We got a great interest rate and because it’s fixed, our payments won’t increase over time. That gives us both stability now and the ability to more effectively plan as we look ahead.”
With the aim of furthering Fig & Pig’s success, Holly used the SBA's Lender Match to find Pursuit, a lender 100% invested in her growth.
“They look at your business as a whole, not just a number. They see a bigger picture,” says Heather. “They look at you as people.”
“We trust our bank and when they recommended the SBA 504 loan with Pursuit, we knew it would be a great option and moved forward."
