Client Success Story: Goliath Systems

We’re proud to spotlight David Oldham, owner of Goliath Systems, and share how MFC financing and business planning support helped his company move forward at a critical stage.

“At Goliath Systems, we offer industrial and commercial electrical installations at manufacturing scale, with specialized electrical integrations to foreign procured equipment needs. This funding helped to support Goliath Systems and enable cash flow at a critical stage of our installation. The loan arrived at the critical moment where and when we needed it. The team at MFC did an amazing job tailored to my specific situation which was truly something to witness happen. In particular, having the team build my business plan which I now have moving forward was in and of itself invaluable in helping to solidify my name in the business, and have going forward in the years to come. The entire process was very involved, but this team took what I didn’t know that I needed and helped me learn why it was important and necessary to enable success and saved me a lot of headaches. We could not have got this far without the help that this financing brought to the table and I look forward to working with them in the future.”
