It was a little over a year ago when Ray Gonzales of Raven Concrete LLC reached out to Main Street Business Capital for financing help. Raven Concrete is based out of Glendale, Arizona and offers a variety of concrete and demolition services. Ray owns the company along with his brother, David. They were in desperate need of new equipment when they turned to Main Street Business Capital. “We were in a down time in between major jobs and we were still a relatively new business,” Ray said, “but we needed some new equipment in order to grow our company.”

 

Unfortunately, Raven Concrete found itself in a bit of a catch 22 because their credit situation wasn’t ideal. New equipment was necessary to expand their business opportunities, yet buying everything with cash wasn’t an option and financing the equipment was proving to be difficult because of their credit. Ray went to United Rentals to discuss purchasing or leasing a new skid steer tractor, which was the most urgent heavy machine on their list. United Rentals has worked with us in the past and continues to be a great client, so they referred Ray to us.

 

After that first introduction, Ray worked closely with Chris Martin, a financing representative at Main Street Business Capital, to find the best equipment financing solutions. Not only did we help secure that first skid steer tractor for Raven Concrete, but we also helped them purchase a second one. In addition, they have financed four new trucks with the assistance of Main Street Business Capital. They are now in the process of financing a larger excavator, as well. By financing the equipment rather than buying it all with cash, it has enabled Raven Concrete to stay on top of their monthly finances and improve their business credit rating.

 

“Main Street Business Capital has been a great asset to have,” said Ray. “I feel like Chris always has my back. The trust we’ve built together is so assuring. It is truly a blessing right now with the abundance of work we have, thanks to the new equipment. It really has enabled us to grow.”

 

Ray is also grateful for the availability and quick response by Chris and the entire team at Main Street Business Capital. “I know that all I need to do is call and it will be taken care of,” said Ray. “There have been times that I’ve called him late in the evening because an idea pops in my head. He’ll usually answer, but if he doesn’t, he calls right back as soon as possible.”

 

Ray has discovered that if he needs equipment financing or help with securing a working capital loan, he can reach out to Chris and he’ll start researching the options as soon as possible. Together, they’ve developed a strong working relationship that has been mutually beneficial for both Raven Concrete and Main Street Business Capital.
