SBA lenders throughout the United States including CIT, Comerica, Wachovia, Wells
Fargo, and Fleet. Through their headquarters in Tampa, Florida and offices throughout
the U.S., they handle hundreds of bank projects annually. Of these, over 75% of
them are for business acquisitions, which makes GulfCoast Financial one of the largest
appraisers of closely held securities in the country.

Business Challenge
GulfCoast Financial needed an information website that communicated
its business offerings. They also needed a customer extranet which enabled their banking clients to submit business valuation requests.
Solution

also developed a customer extranet which includes a business valuation database
and custom workflow to facilitate the submission of business valuation requests.
