Business owners Mehul and Leigh Patel purchased the business in February 2017. They were in the market to buy a business in Durham, and both of them had an interest in interior design companies. When it came to financing, Leigh says, “We realize pretty early on that we were going to need some help.” They were put in touch with Michael Byers at FNB Small Business Finance, who assisted them with the successful acquisition of this business.

Here’s what Leigh had to say about working with Michael:

Michael and his team walked us through every step of the loan process. The checklists that he provided were very helpful in guiding us. Even though the process was challenging at times, it actually enabled us to think more about how we would run our business and better prepared us for business ownership. We would definitely recommend Michael Byers and FNB to anyone that is looking to take the plunge and buy a small business – we had a really good experience!

Since acquiring The Kitchen Specialist in 2017, Leigh has assumed the day-to-day operations of the business. We are so excited to see the continued growth and success of this great business!
