Over the years I have known and worked with Shannon, I’ve see how her integrity and expertise have helped San Diego companies finance payroll and working capital needs, especially related to the government contracting space.
Steve Lopez,
Vice President & Senior Relationship Manager
City National Bank

I have worked with Shannon for over 15 years and found her to be straightforward and very professional. We recently referred a manufacturing company to Shannon that has been very satisfied with their transition. She offered a competitive working capital solution and assisted the company in a smooth transition to meet their financing needs.
Dino D’Auria,
Southern California Regional President
HomeStreet Bank

As the CFO for a couple of San Diego companies Shannon's helped with financing over the years, I can say she's been instrumental in financing growth particularly when the banks weren't. As these companies worked with high profile clients, we needed to be discreet when choosing a solution allowing a favorable method of collecting customer payments which we were unable to obtain in the market on our own.
John Teotico
CFO, San Diego CA

Pitfalls & Strategies when applying for bank financing

Shannon Shular 2014

As we close out the last quarter of 2014, many of you may be requesting line increases from a bank to support current business operations or taking on new challenges in 2015 that require capital.

Either way, I thought the two articles from Forbes and Entrepreneur were relevant topics to share.

Why small business lending has not recovered

Transaction costs to process a $100,000 loan are comparable to a $1 million loan, but with less profit. As a result, banks are less likely to engage in lending at the smallest dollar level. Some banks, particularly larger banks, have significantly reduced or eliminated loans below a certain threshold, typically $100,000 or $250,000, or simply will not lend to small businesses with revenue of less than $2 million, as a way to limit time-consuming applications from small businesses.

4 Mistakes to avoid when applying for a bank loan

  • Mistake #1: Underestimating the value of personal credit: Bankers look at your personal credit history to get a sense of your track record with financial responsibilities.
  • Mistake #2: Applying for the wrong type of loan: Business owners using credit intended for a short period of time for a long-term purchase.
  • Mistake #3: Expecting a loan without collateral or historical cash flow to pay it back: Be sure to detail the revenue to repay the loan & collateral to back it up.
  • Mistake #4: Waiting too long to approach a banker: Small business banking is about relationships. Not only will you develop that face-to-face relationship, but you will also have the opportunity go get your business financials organized and in shape with a banker’s eye in mind.
