Congratulations to Ted Gunderson, Senior VP - Business Relationship Manager at Lake Ridge Bank in Madison, for achieving the status of Elite Lender! Since his first collaboration with WBD in 2008, Ted has partnered with us on 13 successful projects, earning his place among our Elite Lenders.
WBD Inc. is proud to honor top lending partners from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula for their outstanding dedication to helping small businesses secure the financing needed to grow, create jobs, and strengthen their communities. We are delighted to recognize Ted's exceptional contributions.
"WBD has helped thousands of businesses and worked with hundreds of banks and lenders, but those who earn their way to being WBD Elite Lenders have shown a consistent dedication to serving the best interests of the businesses they work with by utilizing the 504 program,” explained WBD CEO Dan Schneider.
Ted has collaborated with WBD 13 times since 2008 to help businesses access the long-term, affordable rate, fixed financing available by utilizing the SBA 504 program. His efforts have secured over $32,000,000 in total project financing for these local businesses and have helped to retain and create over 420 jobs!
WBD Loan Officer, Nick Drewsen, has partnered with Ted several times over the years and appreciates his trust in the SBA 504 program. He recently praised his efforts - "Ted’s partnership over the past 15+ years has been invaluable to WBD. He has leveraged the program for a number of customers across multiple industries and WBD greatly appreciates his continued support and trust."
WBD Elite Lenders are treated to special perks, including an exclusive golf outing at Lawsonia Golf Club in Green Lake, Wisconsin. For current lenders who have worked with us but haven't yet reach the ten loan mark, please contact a WBD loan officer to keep those 504 projects coming! We want you on our Elite Lender team!
