With the assistance of Mildred Holley, business consultant in the ASBDC lead center, AlarmTec Systems successfully prepared and submitted an SBA loan request to provide funds for existing operations and future growth. Twin City Bank and SBA provided term financing for long-term debt. Twin City Bank also provided a line of credit without SBA's guaranty. These fundss have helped fuel AlarmTec's growth in its Memphis, Tennessee operations, established in June 2001.
