Catalyst Connection gathers the latest intelligence on financial resources, grants, investor access, and loan programs that are available to the southwestern PA manufacturing community. And we’re eager to share everything we know. Our financial experts work to access a company’s financial situation, develop a plan, and implement a solution aligned with your short- and long-range capital goals.

• Lien Position – We consider a subordinate lien position on collateral to senior lenders such as your bank.
• Payment Options – We consider flexible payment structures to fit cash flow including:
  • Interest only periods
  • Payments that fit seasonable business
