Tom Boyd of Ancient Lore Village

“The guidance that TSBDC’s Gregg Bostick provided was key to Ancient Lore Village achieving our goals.  The tools the TSBDC made available to us for developing our business plan and financial projections were instrumental as we approached potential lenders.  With our unique niche being focused on hospitality with purpose, many lenders did not understand our business model.  Gregg relentlessly pursued a lending partner who is willing to grow with us.” – Tom Boyd, owner of Ancient Lore Village
