ORLANDO, Fla. --- Mercantile Capital Corporation, which is moving to new headquarters facilities in downtown Orlando, recently closed on a pair of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 Loans that will help build and equip a steel processing plant in Jackson, Ala., valued at over $12 million.
Geof Longstaff, chairman of Mercantile Capital Corporation, said the new steel slitting facility is a promising sign of economic growth and industrial expansion in southwest Alabama. This loan also ranks as Mercantile Capital’s largest single SBA 504 transaction to date.
SET Enterprises, Inc., a leading provider of steel processing services with operations in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, expects to initially employ some 30 workers when it opens its new 70,000 square foot steel plant next year and may ultimately employ up to 50 workers, said Chris Hurn, chief executive officer of Mercantile Capital Corporation.
“At full capacity, this new plant can process 360,000 tons of material,” Hurn said. Most of the steel will support new production for the automotive and drilling industries in the Gulf Coast region, he said.
The SBA 504 loan, which helps to finance new plant equipment as well as construction, was provided in conjunction with Bank of America and First United Security Bank of Thomasville, Alabama.
Mercantile Capital projects it will close 60 commercial loans in 2011 to finance projects valued at more than $150 million in more than 15 states.

ORLANDO-BASED GROUNDFLIGHTS RECEIVES TOP PRIZE WORTH MORE THAN $30,000 AT RECENT B.I.G. SUMMIT AT FULL SAIL UNIVERSITY
ORLANDO, FLA. - GroundFlights, Inc., an Orlando-based executive transportation company, recently received the “Judges’ Choice Award,” the top prize at Orlando Inc.’s B.I.G. Summit, for its video and business model.
The B.I.G. Summit, Orlando Inc.’s premiere event for business innovation and growth, focused on regional entrepreneurship, according to Orlando Inc. President Leslie Hielema.
“The impact of the B.I.G. Award is measured not only by the recognition provided to the winner, but also by the benefits that will come from a prize package that includes training, consultation and regional exposure associated with complimentary advertising and membership in key entrepreneurial associations and programs,” she said.
Orlando Inc., a five-star chamber of commerce, is one of four divisions of the Central Florida Partnership. The judges for the summit – entrepreneurs who themselves are growing successful companies – selected GroundFlights as the best example of the ultimate customer experience.
GroundFlights’ video, which can be seen on the www.BigAward.org website, was filmed over the course of eight hours at the University of Central Florida Business Incubator-Orlando, where GroundFlights is headquartered. It was a collaboration by GroundFlights, Inc., producer Valensky Sylvain (www.DarkElfFilms.com) and Director James Hunter, President of 1st Dibz Productions. Jason Goldberg, co-founder and chief executive officer of GroundFlights said the competition for the award – for which the total value exceeds $30,000 – was tremendous.
“Being selected as the ‘Judges’ Choice’ was an honor in and of itself,” he said. “But now being able to partner with organizations like Orlando Inc. and the firms that are donating their time and expertise may be just the momentum we need to take our company to the next level.”

Pulte Homes introduces five new floor plans including Pulte Planning Centers at Berkshire Park in Windermere, model Grand Opening Dec. 10
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Pulte Homes has introduced five new floor plans with new featured “Pulte Planning Centers” and “Drop Zones” at Berkshire Park located in Windermere. A Grand Opening is set for Saturday, Dec.10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Berkshire Park that will feature Pulte’s new Madison model home.
Sean Strickler, Vice President of Sales for Pulte Homes in Central Florida, said the new floor plans include three, four, five and six bedroom designs that range in size from 2,430 square feet of living space to 3,649 square feet boasting such features as first floor owner’s suites, three-car garages, granite countertops and tile floors.
Strickler said Pulte Homes is introducing two big new features at Berkshire Park: “Pulte Planning Centers and Drop Zones.” These new features were integrated into the new floorplans because of feedback derived from focus groups conducted with its homeowners.
“The Pulte Planning Center looks like an open room or den but it’s really a survival tool because it’s a place where you can organize the family -- open the mail, pay bills, kids can do schoolwork. Since it’s centrally located in the home and open to the kitchen and great room it offers a lot of flexibility -- it can be whatever you need it to be,” Strickler said.
“The Drop Zone is similar to a northern mud room -- a place for the kids to drop off backpacks and shoes before heading into the rest of the home. So many homes in Florida are designed to walk through a laundry room when entering from the garage. It gets a little depressing coming into your home and seeing all of the laundry that didn’t get done. The Drop Zone addresses that issue.”
The Drop Zone can have bead-board backing, coat hooks and storage for shoes. Additional options in the Drop Zone include upper and lower cabinets with granite countertops, electrical outlets for charging phones and iPads and cabinet cubbies for organizing the mail.
The Madison model home that will be premiered at the grand opening is designed with the new Drop Zone feature.
The public is invited to stop by, tour the model and enjoy food from a gourmet food truck, The Crooked Spoon.
Berkshire Park is located off Overstreet Road and S.R. 535 in Windermere. 13314 Roskin Ln., Windermere, FL 34786.
