MERCANTILE COMMERCIAL CAPITAL CHOSEN "BEST PLACE TO WORK" AMONG ORLANDO AREA BUSINESSES

Altamonte Springs, Fla. – Mercantile Commercial Capital, LLC, which specializes in U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans for small business owners, was recently named the “best place to work” among businesses with fewer than 50 workers in the Orlando area.

Christopher G. Hurn, president and chief executive officer of Mercantile Commercial, said the firm has 11 full time employees in Orlando area offices as well as offices in Tampa, South Florida and Chicago.

MCC had the highest score (97.18%) out of all other companies as calculated by an independent firm, QMR Market Research.

Hurn said the firm"s customers –– almost all of whom are entrepreneurs –– help make Mercantile Commercial the best place to work. “All of us here are entrepreneurs in our own right,” said Hurn. “We have tried to avoid creating a traditional management hierarchy because everyone here has an important contribution to make,” he said.

Mercantile Commercial has arranged more than 54 loans worth more than $58 million since the firm opened two years ago. More important, Hurn said the firm"s efforts have helped create more than 470 new jobs.
