Great projects don’t happen in silos.
We had the opportunity to spend a few days in Wilmington, North Carolina, with our friends at Live Oak Bank — Claire Cronin, Jacqueline Pait, and Brandy Keck — working on a very special project that we can’t say too much about just yet.
What we can say is this: if your project involves launching, renovating, building, or expanding a business, bringing the right team together early matters.
Lending and construction are not two separate conversations that happen at different times. They work best when they move together from the beginning. Financing, site planning, design, budgeting, timelines, and construction strategy all impact one another — and when the right people are at the table early, the entire project has a stronger foundation.
We’re grateful for vendor relationships that feel like true partnerships — and even better, friendships.
Stay tuned… more to come soon.
