Clopton Capital Plans Strategy for Engaging New and Future Clients

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 13, 2011

Clopton Capital is a provider of SBA loan services that is located in Chicago, IL. They primarily focus on commercial mortgages, SBA loans and niche financing mechanisms such as gas station loans and semi truck financing. The founder of Clopton Capital is Jake Clopton and this press release is part of Clopton Capital's consistent effort to remain involved with the public, namely their future clients. Clopton Capital can be contacted at CloptonCapital.com.

Clopton Capital is taking on numerous new initiatives to enhance their web presence. Among the several actions they will be taking over the next year include a video blog, a forum integrated within their site where users can discuss different business funding and executions strategies and larger and more consistent article marketing campaigns. The goal of these campaigns is not strictly to make their websites more visible on the Internet, but also to increase their ability to understand what their clients and prospects are looking for and to understand their struggles as business owners.

Currently, the firm has only executed one portion of this three part plan and that is enhanced and more prolific article marketing campaigns to make themselves the dominant SBA loan provider on the Internet. The other two parts of the new campaign will be executed once certain metrics have been met with regards to their primary websites traffic.

The goal of all this is to show how serious we are to our clients about being in business perpetually. A fly by night operation would never invest so much time and effort into creating such informational services that users can consume for free. This is what separates the hundreds of our competitors who are nothing more than lead jockeys who want your information to resell it to others, said Jake Clopton, the founder of Clopton Capital.

Clopton Capital intends to implement this plan throughout the year 2012. Thereafter, they intend to increase the size and scope of similar initiatives on a consistent and never ending basis.

Clopton Capital can be contacted at their website CloptonCapital.com or at 866.647.1650 during regular business hours central time. Their website contains more specific information about their commercial loan products. For information on their SBA loan products visit SBABusinessLoanSource.com. Clopton Capital is consistently looking for relevant link partners. If you have a website that is related to finance you can submit your site for inclusion at http://www.CloptonCapital.com/link.

Hackman Capital Announces the Sale of Florence Industrial Center

Florence, South Carolina (PRWEB) September 15, 2011

Hackman Capital, a private-held real estate investment firm located in Los Angeles, California, announced today that Otis Elevator of Farmington, Connecticut purchased the property owned by its affiliate at 1500 Range Way, in Florence, South Carolina. Florence Industrial Center, a 423,581 square-foot, class-A industrial facility, once occupied by Maytag, is situated on 49 acres and also includes 35 acres of vacant, interstate frontage land.

John Ticon and Edward Kercher of Cushman Wakefield in Charleston, South Carolina represented Otis Elevator in the recent transaction, while Randy Stump of The Stump Corporation, represented the Hackman affiliate.

"Adjacent to Interstate 95 and in close proximity to deep-water seaports, Florence Industrial Center offers Otis a prime Southeastern location and first-rate building amenities for manufacturing and distribution," said Michael Hackman, founder and CEO of Hackman Capital.

Hackman Capital renovated and completely rebranded the property in June of 2009, after selling and removing specialized Maytag equipmentapproximately 100 pieceswhich they acquired, along with the real estate, as part of the initial bundled transaction. "We then launched an aggressive marketing campaign designed to attract national companies to the area," said Hackman. The campaign not only touted key building features, Hackman explained, but also promoted Florence's incomparable accessibility and pro-business community.

Otis Elevator, the world's leading manufacturer of elevators, escalators and moving walkways, was the ideal candidate.

Otis completed a fee-in-lieu-of (FILO) payment agreement with Florence County, in an economic development project known as Project Rosebud, last month, in which the county agreed to dramatically reduce Otis' property taxes over the next 30 years.

For its part, the company is contracted to bring at least 360 jobs with an average wage of $ 25 per hour to the site and invest a minimum of $ 40 million in capital. If the company doesn't meet those benchmarks in the prescribed amount of time the local incentives agreement will be wholly or partially cancelled.

Beyond the tax rate reduction, an additional incentive offers Otis a $ 1,000 cash grant from the county for every Florence County resident who is employed at the site for at least three years up until December 31, 2016. That grant for up to 400 employees means a potential local grant of $ 400,000. The average salary of the employees counted must also be $ 25/hour, although that can include bonuses.

The 158-year-old company, which employs 61,000 people and has local roots in more than 200 countries and territories, has not yet shared specific details. However, Otis plans to use Florence Industrial Center as a manufacturing site and also expects to build a tall testing tower there. Jobs will come from Otis operations in other U.S. cities, and in Mexico, according to Florence County Economic Development Corporation officials, who anticipate a formal announcement from Otis later this month.
