Capital Bank Maryland (www.capitalbankmd.com) – A specialist in financing small businesses that serve USG contracting, Capital Bank Maryland works closely with businesses to help them swiftly access increased credit lines and small business loans as needed to manage through cashflow crunches that come with the award of new contracts. This bank comes highly recommended by Carlos Rivera, who says that their responsiveness is what has helped Vysnova Partners to grow quickly over the past few years.

Connexus Corporation relies on PCI for this support and CEO, Anita Campion said she is “very happy with PCI and is relieved to know that the PCI team is there as a back-up to our in-house accounting management team.”

Session format: Each vendor will have 15 minutes to present what they offer to small businesses, followed by 15 minutes of questions and answers. 

Due to the fact that these vendors come with a proven track record and are also financial supporters of SBAIC, we strongly encourage you and others from your firm to attend. To facilitate follow-up, SCP has agreed to share contact information with these vendors, unless you indicate otherwise. Thank you so much, and we look forward to seeing you there!
