(openPR) - Asheville based BluePrints for Business, announced today the launch of its sister company, Optimum Capital Funding. The new company is a lending platform focused on providing commercial loans and funding solutions for companies seeking start-up and growth capital.

“For decades BluePrints for Business has helped small and mid-size companies through turnarounds & workouts, family business succession planning, emerging growth, and mergers & acquisitions,” said Tim Barrett, President of BluePrints. “What we’ve found is that, more often than not, these businesses are struggling because they can’t find the capital necessary to reach their goals. That’s why we’re extremely excited to announce the launch of our sister company, Optimum Capital Funding.”

According to Barrett, the new company will be focused on helping small and mid-size businesses by providing commercial loans and funding solutions that are tailored to their specific needs.

“Small and mid-size companies have different needs than large corporations – and each one is unique in its own way,” said Barrett. “That’s why we’re excited that Optimum Capital Funding will be able to offer highly specialized financial services to these businesses, both locally and throughout the country. We just felt it was time to do something to help them.”

Barrett is a nationally known business and financial consultant who has started and managed a wide range of businesses across the country.
