AmPac Business Capital

It is #ThankfulThursday so we wanted to share that on July 11th, we celebrated a pivotal moment in the SBA lending industry as AmPac Business Capital officially announced its merger with Enterprise Funding Corporation during a well-attended press conference. This merger, which received final approval from the State of California on August 6th, positions AmPac as the premier SBA 504 lending resource in the Inland Empire and beyond. The event brought together lending partners, elected officials, and community members, showcasing the strength of the newly consolidated entity. Hilda Kennedy, Founder and President of AmPac, highlighted the strategic benefits of this merger and introduced new board members, outlining an exciting future for the organization. With the addition of Jeff Sceranka, former President of Enterprise Funding, as Executive VP of New Markets and Business Development, AmPac is set to leverage his extensive experience in the industry to expand its services and reach. This merger not only combines 58 years of expertise but also reaffirms our commitment to ensuring equal access to capital for underserved communities. We look forward to enhancing our service capabilities with new offices in San Bernardino and Palm Springs. Together, we are ready to make access to business capital as easy as ABC™!
