FSC First restructured the financing and brought in resource partners in order to accommodate the client’s acquisition and start-up needs through innovative and creative financing using funds from three programs managed by FSC First: The City of Bowie Revolving Loan Fund, MD DHCD Microenterprise Loan Fund, and the Economic Development Corporation Revolving Loan Fund.
