- Entrepreneur Secures Equipment Purchase Loan from Centrust to Expand High-End Cabinetry Business
A man with a niche for high-end cabinetry was ready to expand his business, but when a larger company took over his bank, he quickly got lost in the shuffle of the transaction. Frustrated from reaching out repeatedly as his business needs went ignored, he turned to local Chicago bank, Centrust. The Centrust team understood the importance of communicating with someone directly and timely, so they helped secure a working line of credit and an equipment purchase loan. Now, Armadio Cabinets, Inc., has new state-of-the-art technology to help meet the needs of new customers and continue delivering high-end cabinets to the Chicago community.
