How it works
Phone is fastest. Call (706) 963-2915 during business hours. You'll speak with someone who understands Athens-area businesses, from Loop 10 retailers to Oconee County manufacturing shops. We don't use email for client intake. If you reach voicemail, leave your name, business type, and the funding amount you're considering. We return calls the same business day when possible.
Our office sits along the Jennings Mill corridor in Bogart, an easy drive from downtown Athens, Winterville, Hull, Nicholson, Colbert, Arnoldsville, and Crawford. If you're coming from the Eastside or near the Classic Center, it's about twelve minutes via Oconee Street to 316.
Three things speed up every first conversation. Know roughly how much capital you need. Have a general sense of your monthly revenue. Be ready to describe what the money will fund: equipment, inventory, payroll, real estate, or something else. We'll ask follow-up questions, but those three points let us talk to an advisor about the right program faster.
You don't need tax returns or bank statements for the first call. We map out options first, then discuss paperwork only if you want to move forward. To get a loan quote later in the process, you'll eventually need financials, but not to start.
