"We entered an SBA 7(a) loan earlier this year, and [FFB's] support made all the difference. After years away from business ownership, we decided to re-enter in 2023, but we weren’t sure where to begin when it came to financing. [The bank] listened, understood what we needed, and gave us honest, straightforward guidance. No sales pitch, just someone who wanted to help. The expertise, patience, and care helped us start this chapter the right way, and we’re truly grateful.” – Bill & Marcia Brant, Gainesville residents
