Client Stories

Explosive growth fueled by multiple SBA 504 loans

Tek Pak provides precision thermoforming packaging solutions for the electronics, healthcare and consumer industries.  In 1997, the SBA honored them as Illinois exporter of the year. Over the course of 20 years, they have received five SBA 504 loans to purchase their building and equipment, and make leasehold improvements.

I highly recommend SomerCor because without their expertise in how the loan package through the SBA works, it’s difficult to know what the key points are.  You need that help or education.” – Tony Beyer, Owner

Significant business expansion from property acquisition

As their popularity and business grew, Hopleaf, a gastro-pub located in the Chicago Andersonville neighborhood accessed multiple SBA 504 loans since 2012 to expand into two adjacent buildings. Hopleaf has been featured on The Food Network as well as The Travel Channel and has earned a Michelin “Bib Gourmand” designation twice.


Expanded services with equipment purchases

DLV Printing Services was founded in 1992 to provide quality printing, copying, silk screening and apparel embroidery for local businesses, schools, churches and municipalities. The owner utilized an SBA 7(a) Community Advantage loan to purchase and renovate a larger facility for her growing business.

“SomerCor was great. They’re easy to work with. They came out. They walked me through the process. It’s not like the normal loan; you get more of a personal relationship.” – Vernita Johnson, Owner
