Granite Guys a Solid Success
Since starting their business in 2015, Dustin Carter and Tommy Marques's Granite Guys has gone from being a home-based business to brick and mortar.  Now, with a little help from the LDC, the business will be able to streamline its processes through opening their own on-site fabrication shop.  To see a little of their winning "experience, integrity, and craftsmanship," check them out on  Facebook.

Quick Reminders:
  • When a natural disaster strikes, our Small Business Natural Disaster Relief Loan Program can provide short-term financing of up to $10,000 for small businesses.  It's designed to provide swift relief to businesses in our five-county area that need to replace inventory, secure buildings, purchase equipment, or general cash flow needs.  Click here for more details. 
  • No disaster damage but still need a loan?  New applications are accepted through the first business day of each month (except December) in order to be considered by our Board of Directors the first week of the following month.  However, if your business needs are under $25,000, you can submit an application at any time.  The LDC staff can review and approve loan requests of $25,000 and under.
