In this blog, we’re sharing two inspiring stories of business owners who turned to refinancing at critical moments in their journeys. Through strategic planning and personalized guidance, they were able to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and realize their dreams.
Let’s explore how Sarah and George, two self-employed clients, used refinancing to take their businesses to the next level—and how you can do the same.
Sarah’s Home-Based Hair Salon - Turning a Dream into Reality
When Sarah, a dedicated hairstylist and mother of two, approached us, her mortgage was nearing maturity. She had a lifelong dream: transforming her basement into a professional hair salon to better serve her growing clientele while staying close to her family.
Here’s how we made it happen:
Strategic Refinancing: We helped Sarah tap into her home equity by refinancing her mortgage at maturity. This allowed her to secure a competitive interest rate while keeping her monthly payments manageable.
Tailored Loan Structure: The refinance was structured to provide funds for renovations, equipment, and marketing, ensuring she had everything she needed to launch her business.
Personalized Guidance: We supported Sarah every step of the way, from gathering financial documents to creating a budget that balanced her new mortgage payments with business reinvestment.
The Results:
Today, Sarah’s home-based salon is thriving. She has doubled her client base, increased her monthly income, and achieved financial stability—all while fulfilling her passion.
Key Takeaway:
Sarah’s story is a testament to how refinancing can turn dreams into reality. By leveraging her home equity, she built a business that supports her family and her goals.
George’s Home Building Company - Boosting Business Efficiency
George, a self-employed home builder, approached us two years ago with a unique challenge. He had a tremendous opportunity to acquire heavy-duty equipment that would significantly improve his business efficiency and profits. However, he needed funding to make it happen.
Here’s how we helped George:
Private Funding Solution: We secured private funding using the equity in George’s property, enabling him to purchase the equipment immediately. To avoid early payout penalties, we planned to consolidate the private mortgage with his first mortgage at maturity.
Refinancing and Consolidation: Fast forward one year, and George’s first mortgage was nearing maturity. We refinanced his mortgage and consolidated both loans, reducing his interest charges and monthly payments.
The Results:
The new equipment allowed George to increase his business efficiency and profits immediately. With the refinance, he now enjoys lower monthly payments and a simplified financial structure, giving him the freedom to focus on growing his business.
Key Takeaway:
George’s story highlights the power of refinancing to support business growth. By strategically leveraging property equity, he was able to invest in his business and achieve long-term financial benefits.
