Dean Aloe Awarded Coleman Best Small Business Loan of the Year

One of the best small business loans of the year was Dean Aloe’s loan to help a growing Long Beach consulting firm secure its first commercial property after years of rising lease costs and uncertainty. By introducing the owners to the SBA 504 Program, Dean structured a solution that allowed them to purchase a 3,000-square-foot office with only 10% down and a 25-year fixed rate. This exceptional transaction provided long-term stability, enabled team expansion, and positioned the company for sustainable growth, with the owners praising Dean for making a complex process clear and achievable.
