Two banks came through with financing allowing Steve Blake's acquisition of Avanti Motors. One of them was the 1st Source Bank of South Bend....Can anyone name the other?

My understanding - 1st Source Bank + shareholders loans + shareholders investment for the purchase.

At the closing - a working capital line of credit was tapped.  However, this was not "financing allowing...acquisition."

Share holders plus 1st Source Bank were indeed involved, however there was also a secondary bank....(HINT...$100K 'bridge' loan)

Are you sure that it was a "bridge loan" for acquisition and not a draw from a line of credit for operation?

He a $2.5 million, 10-year loan from 1st Source, of which 75 percent was guaranteed by the state of Indiana.  He got some money from Security National Bank, about $30,000, but that bank eventually sued Blake to get the money back.

Good info!....The 'REGARDIE'S' article mentioned Blake received a $100,000 bridge loan from the D.C. National Bank.
