Welcome back everyone. So, broker ve behind me is still going on.
It's actually concluding and coming down now, but I'm here with Luo. Vica Luo.
Tell me about your time here at Broker Fair.
Uh, I enjoyed it very much. This is my first time coming to, uh, the bank event.
Mm-hmm. So, uh, very informational. There's a lot of, uh,
tech companies out here that can make our lives so much easier as a business
loan broker. Um, I also started syndicating files as well, so it's real good.
They had a real lot of good options for syndication as well.
So, being that, that this is your first time here,
tell me a little bit about your company and how you guys found out about Broker
Fair.
Well,
I've been in the business since 2008 and I started my company in 2000,
uh, 10. Mm-hmm. So I've been a business loan broker for, you know,
almost 15 years now. Mm-hmm. And, uh, I have a,
I have like a call center.
I have like 40 people that were on the phones and I found out, I seen the bank,
you know, online and on social media,
and I seen a lot of other people that I talked to.
They just talk about the bank. Um,
I used to go to a lot of events like in 20 14, 15, say,
not over the past five years, not too many. Mm-hmm. Um, but, uh, it's,
it's nice to get caught up in the industry and see where the transition has came
to and, and all the good, uh, technology aspects of it.
So what is one thing you can say that you took away from this event today?
That it is definitely worth it to come here if you're in the business loan
broker industry. A lot of connections, a lot of great vendors,
a lot of great technology. Um,
you don't have to do something a lot of stuff manually anymore,
and it just makes, uh, it's gonna make the transition and,
and the process of funding these businesses so much more quicker.
Now you guys are based in Chicago. Do you have any plans for after the event,
you know, outside of the business?
Are you guys going to any restaurants or anything fun doing in New York?
Yeah, I'm gonna go to Little Italy tonight and,
and then maybe check out Chinatown since it's right next door in Lower
Manhattan.
Awesome. Well, I hope you had a great time at the event.
