- Centrust Helps Women Business Owner Expand Her Pure Barre Studios to Multiple Locations - SBA Loans
Three years ago, Centrust Bank helped a woman entrepreneur purchase a Pure Barre studio in Kildeer where she could help empower families in a community that values fitness. Since then, Centrust has provided her with an additional SBA 7a loan to open up a second location in Vernon Hills for leasehold improvements, equipment, inventory, and working capital. Due to the overwhelming success, and with the help of our SBA loans, she is planning to expand into South Barrington in the next year.
