Kalia Clark Joins TMC Financing to Enhance SBA 504 Lending in Hawaii's Small Business Sector

TMC Financing Welcomes Kalia Clark to Lead SBA 504 Lending in Hawaii

TMC Financing, the leading provider of SBA 504 commercial real estate loans in the United States, announced that Kalia Clark has joined their team as Senior Vice President of Business Development. This appointment is aimed at expanding the access of small business owners in Hawaii to the SBA 504 financing options offered by the firm.

With over ten years of experience in the financial sector, Clark brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his new role. His primary focus will be on facilitating the needs of entrepreneurs and strengthening partnerships within Hawaii's small business lending community. TMC Financing expanded its services to Hawaii in 2024 with a commitment to help local businesses secure affordable, long-term commercial real estate financing, and Clark is set to be instrumental in driving this mission forward.

Kurt Chambliss, Executive Vice President of Business Development at TMC Financing, expressed great enthusiasm for Kalia's addition to the team. Chambliss stated, "We are thrilled to welcome Kalia to TMC Financing. As a Hawaii native with a proven track record in SBA lending, he is the perfect person to lead our efforts in this growing market. His knowledge, integrity, and passion for supporting small businesses will be instrumental as we expand our presence across the islands."

The Role of Kalia Clark

In his new position, Clark will engage directly with small business owners and collaborate with commercial real estate brokers and local banks. His efforts will focus on easing access to SBA 504 financing, a program designed to empower eligible businesses with as much as 90% financing at low, fixed interest rates and terms extending up to 25 years. These funds can be utilized for purchasing, constructing, or refinancing owner-occupied commercial real estate, providing a significant financial uplift for local enterprises looking to grow and stabilize.

Before joining TMC Financing, Clark held senior roles across different financial sectors, and his experience includes establishing and enhancing SBA lending programs. His career showcases a dedication to empowering small and mid-sized enterprises, particularly in cash flow and collateral-based lending strategies.

Reflecting on his return to Hawaii, Clark stated, "It’s an honor to return home and be part of TMC’s mission to uplift Hawaii’s small business community. The SBA 504 program is a powerful tool for building long-term stability, and I’m excited to help more local entrepreneurs turn their business goals into reality."
