An entrepreneur from an entrepreneurial family
Matt Purselle’s career and business grew out of a summer job that turned into a career. Running small businesses was a tradition on both sides of his family; it was only natural that he did the same. Starting out in a small space in Avondale Estates, his Mercedes repair business grew rapidly and he realized they had already outgrown a building they’d just finished expanding.
Historically he had worked with a larger bank, but the relationship was arms-length and he never really knew where he stood with them. Turning to Tandem in order to finance his new, larger location, he had lots of questions about options, how much down, what programs were available, and how to understand the financing process.
Tandem was able to coach and counsel him about those questions and more. Financing of the new building was secured successfully, and Matt knew he had found a partner who could help him move forward in business — someone he could trust.
