Mini Case Study: Hilton Garden Inn Tifton

Shortly after completing construction on a Hilton Garden Inn in Tifton, Georgia, chaos hit Wall Street and Stafford Development Company’s (SDC) financial institution was in a bind.

Although SDC enjoyed the backing of a respected Fortune-500 brand and had a strong track record of honoring obligations, the bank demanded a shift in the existing financing structure. This adjustment would have jeopardized the stability of the hotel, and potentially the strength of SDC’s entire business.

Reflecting on the situation, SCD’s CEO, DeNean Stafford, had this to say: “We were backed into a corner by someone we thought was a partner… The credit crisis was causing our financial institutions to lose sight of the big picture and commitments they had made. Our plans and the outlook of the project hadn’t changed. But nonetheless, they reacted to macroeconomic issues unfavorably, and we found ourselves in an impossible situation.”

It was during this time that SDC became aware of the USDA B&I Loan Program and decided to transition away from its established Wall Street lender and into a more stable lending relationship. 

According to DeNean, “Mr. Johnson (former president of North Avenue Capital) introduced us to the option of partnering with the USDA to refinance our debt, remove the incumbent bank from the equation, and continue managing this great hotel toward what we believed was certain profitability.” 

After walking through the detailed underwriting process and closing the new loan, SDC was able to refocus its attention on managing the growth and profitability of its investment.

Hosting something other than a hotel? The USDA has options.

At NAC, our rural lending experts guide applicants through the process in full. The business owners we serve are often surprised to hear that the USDA supports more than agriculture alone. In fact, the USDA Business & Industry Loan Program has nothing to do with agriculture at all. The USDA’s Business & Industry Loan Program provides government-guaranteed loans and grants to rural small businesses of all types. The loan program empowers entrepreneurs and entities with loans of up to $25 million, so long as they operate in communities of 50,000 or fewer.
