Headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, Piedmont Business Capital (PBC) creates shared economic prosperity through equitable lending and investment. Since 1992, PBC has envisioned a financially strong, culturally vibrant community where each person
has access to decent jobs, homes, health care, education, healthy food, and economic opportunities.
Through flexible, financial products and sound advice, PBC creates opportunities to make socially
responsible investments that revitalize communities in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Contract proceeds must be assigned with a signature from the borrower and prime contractor or agency awarding the contract.
Queen Coffee Bean was established at the time I reached out to Piedmont Business Capital. Antwon
Foreman, the Entrepreneurship Coach, was instrumental in my transition from an online retailer to
having a brick-and-mortar location. The funds I obtained allowed me the opportunity to turn a 2200
sq. ft. space into a fully functioning coffee lounge with a roastery included. Without the
assistance of Mr. Foreman, and the financial assistance from Piedmont Business Capital, I would not
have been so successful, so quickly.
There are those rare moments when you get a God-given vision of a business that you know will be
beneficial to the world! Unfortunately, most times your current finances don’t quite support the
vision. Also, commercial bank loans are out of the question because you're labeled as high risk.
When little to no one would take a financial chance on us as a new company, Piedmont Business
Capital did. With the loan and line of credit products, we can not only accomplish our goals but
establish financial credibility when we are ready to scale up. The ease of the process put us at
ease and now we are making a difference in the community one household at a time.
