As a Lendio franchise owner and as a former senior consultant for the local Small Business Development Center, John has been hard at work helping new businesses launch and grow. As an entrepreneur himself, John knows what the small business owner goes through on a daily basis. He has launched and operated numerous businesses of his own, including a consulting firm, a publishing company, a retail store and a cafe. In these ventures, he has gained broad expertise in practically all areas of business from human resources to sales; from logistics to finance; from customer service to operations. What’s more, he has developed an extensive network of economic development contacts in the region and can be a valuable resource to your company. John is excited to bring his over twenty years of experience to the Lendio team and to support local businesses in finding the capital they need while simultaneously helping the borrower become bankable again.
