For Immediate Release

San Diego, CA – Craig G. Francis, owner of Francis Financial and SBALoanStore.com, has joined the team of contributors at Presidio Sentinel. Francis, who has brokered over $1 billion in loans for over 2400 small businesses, will write about business, entrepreneurial and lending issues for the newspaper’s hard copy and online publications. His first article, “Is Unemployment Un-American” looks at the topic of unemployment versus self-sufficiency.

After more than a decade and a half working with such major companies as Dunn & Bradstreet and the Bank of Commerce, Francis sensed “a change in the credit environment of his bank and the region as a whole.” Realizing the opportunity, he started his own loan brokerage, specializing in working with small businesses and start-up entrepreneurs. That company, Francis Financial, placed over a half-billion dollars in loans just between 2001 and 2008.

In order to reach a wider audience with which to share his knowledge, Craig G. Francis began writing his SBALoanStore.com blog in 2009. Since then he has authored over 100 articles dealing with everything from the influence of character in the loan process to the politics of SBA funding. He has also worked with local entrepreneur and business developer David Kamatoy to produce several lending- and finance-related interviews. In 2011 Kamatoy and Francis joined to create an information video to help explain the role of SBA funding in financing a restaurant.

Craig G. Francis is the owner of Francis Financial and SBA Loan Store. He has been a top producer of SBA Loans since 1981, and has worked with Dun & Bradstreet and Bank of Commerce. Craig Francis has the expertise to steer clients through the often confusing rules and regulations associated with SBA Loans, having helped over 2,000 businesses acquire over a billion dollars in loans. He can be contacted through CraigGFrancis.com, SBALoanStore.com, on LinkedIn, or at 888-666-9722.
