In this episode of Story Loans, Ray sits down with Russ Hadlock, Owner of The Autoglass Clinic & Mobile Radio. Russ acquired this business in November 2022 with the help of an SBA 7a Loan. 
Russ’s career began in sales until one day he had a true “ah-ha moment” and invented a product for Peloton owners that immediately took off and generated $4.5mm in revenue within 18 months.
He since exited that business and used his newly created wealth to acquire an already existing, profitable business. This is his story.

Bryan Swartz joins Ray to share his experience of using an SBA 7a loan to acquire a midwest-based small business that cleans operating rooms. Spoiler alert: there were some major hiccups along the way including his lender changing banks, his underwriter quiet-quitting, and a lender restructuring the deal 90+ days in. Tune in to hear how Bryan overcame obstacle after obstacle and got the deal closed.
