Florida First Capital Closes $13 Million 504 Refinance Deal

May 2012

Florida First Capital is pleased to announce it recently closed a $13 million deal in Central Florida under the Small Business Administration's (SBA) temporary 504 debt refinancing program.

John Hanrahan, Florida First Capital vice president and loan officer for Central Florida, worked with Heritage Bank of the South to provide the refinancing package for the five-year-old, 133-room Holiday Inn in Ocala, Florida.

“The hotel has high visibility from I-75 and the owners have more than a decade's worth of experience in the lodging operations business,” said Hanrahan. “This is a strong enterprise with a solid cash flow and just the right candidate for the temporary 504 refinance program,” he said.

The hotel caters to special events such as weddings and meetings and is also very popular with visitors to the Ocala area for equine related shows and events. The property even counts U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton among its prestigious former guests.
