FDG Financial Group secures $300M in funding for local entrepreneurs
FDG Gains Backing from Overland Bancorp
ST. LOUIS, Missouri—July 12, 2004—The FDG Financial Group today announced its formal
alliance with Overland Bancorp and The Bank of Belton. The result of being named SBA’s
exporter of the year, Freeborn’s public speaking on export business and capital resources has
yielded high demand for FDG’s alternative financial assistance programs.
“My 15+ years of knowledge in business planning, project management, and alternative capital
lending with small and medium-sized businesses is the foundation of our financial group,” says
Freeborn. “There is a considerable demographic of businesses that do not fit the conventional
“bank” mold that are ideal for “alternative” financing packages—I focus on difficult and unusual
funding situations that banks shy away from.”
This alliance brings more capital to the St. Louis business market. Mr. Freeborn has developed
more than $137M for more than 65 projects since 1987. The first half of 2004 has been busy with
over $30M in financial commitments for new projects.
“John Freeborn has the uncanny knack of understanding the myriad of loans and lenders and
efficiently determining the best possible program for his clients,” says John Blum, International
Financial Specialist for the SBA. “The addition of Overland Bancorp and Belton’s funding
resources gives Freeborn the opportunity to close a wide variety of capital programs.”
