What Our Clients Say
Our clients say it best. Following are comments from a few of our loan recipients.

“HAIEFC is important because they will invest insmall businesses. In our case, it has allowed us to maintain our operation herewithout outside investors who may want to buy out and relocate the company. We have employees here who want to stay in the Tri-Cities. They have families here, they graduated from local schools…this is home.”
-Richard Smith, owner Xactex

"The loan has been a great help to us. IsoRay has experienced tremendous growth in Cesium-131 seed orders for cancer treatment. By making key equipment purchases with the funding received from HAEIFC, we have expanded our production capacity to meet the increasing demand for our product.”
-Jonathan Hunt, CFO, IsoRay Inc.

With this loan, HAEIFC has allowed us to bring a whole new level of manufacturing capability to the Tri-Cities.  Using the Jet Edge cutter, we can manufacture our own skate chassis and build our TrailSkate all-terrain skates right here in our Richland facility.  Having this technology on site has also opened up new markets for us, including customized work and special orders for other Tri-City manufacturers and machine shops.”
-Patrick Gates, Founder and President GateSkate

“For an incubator program to succeed, you need a certain amount of square footage to rent out. Through HAEIFC’s assistance, we were able to purchase a second location, giving us the volume we needed to be self sufficient.”
- Stan Stave President and General Manager of the .Tri-Cities Enterprise Center
