Entrepreneur challenge
West Coast Monograms wanted to find a new operating location more suitable for its business and buy its own space. But company president Matthew Ramey faced challenges because of fierce competition for commercial real estate and upward pricing pressure.
BDC expertise
BDC walked the company through the commercial purchase process and provided real estate financing to allow West Coast Monograms to achieve its goal of becoming a commercial property owner/operator.
Results
- Allowed the firm to buy a new space better suited to its business needs
- The new space is also in a more strategically located area for the owner
- The company now has better cost and location certainty by being the owner of its own property
