The following knowledgeable industry leaders and scholars from Business Wire's ExpertSource database are available to discuss topics relating to Small Business II :
Arturo Concha is an SBA (Small Business Association) expert for Americas United Bank. Concha is currently one of top producers in the USA and has been for several years. Concha attributes his success to his daughters. His desire to be a giving father ignited his competitive spirit and inspired him to want to flourish so that he could provide for his children in a way that was unavailable to him growing up. Arturo Concha likens his approach to that of an MD. When a doctor sees a patient, he evaluates the circumstance and seeks a solution. Concha examines the need of a client, evaluates the situation and then seeks a financial resolution for him or her in a similar manner. In addition, he charts a client's financial history in a similar way that a doctor chronicles a medical history - all critical factors for what he does. When asked to recall a favorite moment in his business career, Concha fondly reflects upon a transaction that took place a few years ago. At that time, Concha helped finance a deal for one of his customers who had eleven brothers. During the course of the transaction, Concha garnered a terrific relationship with the entire family. Eventually, he helped all of the brothers secure financing for their respective businesses.
