ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FL --- Mercantile Capital Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Florida National Bank, which specializes in U.S. Small Business Administration 504 loans that assist small business owners acquiring or developing their own facilities, is having the best year in the company’s eight year history.

Geof Longstaff (top right photo), chairman of Mercantile Capital Corp., said the firm will close commercial loans funding projects valued at more than $140 million this year.

Longstaff said Mercantile Capital recently closed its largest loan ever to fund the $8.7 million acquisition of a commercial building on Broadway in New York City.
