Marie Shires has been named Vice President and Relationship Manager at Seedcopa, a certified development company that specializes in helping Pennsylvania businesses gain financing through government loans.  

Shires comes to Seedcopa with a decade of SBA 504 experience providing commercial real estate and equipment financing to the region’s small to mid-sized businesses.

 “Every business owner knows how complicated the loan process can seem, especially when you’re trying to navigate federal programs and take advantage of long-term, below-market interest rates,” says Seedcopa Managing Director Sherwood Robbins.

“Marie knows how to help loan applicants convey their business stories, resulting in the best possible results for loan approval and fixed rate financing.”

 A certified Economic Development Financial Professional, Shires has completed rigorous training in business credit, loan packaging procedures, real estate finance analysis and deal structuring.

As a long-time program director and Vice President at a not-for-profit certified development company, she has been responsible for all phases of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans, including business development, processing, closing and servicing.

She also draws on enduring relationships with local banks, professional partners and community-based organizations to facilitate the loan process for Seedcopa clients.

 Shires is a member of Advocates for Small Business, where she holds a seat on the board of directors. Over the course of her career she has taken a participating lead role in a variety of special events and summits for small business owners, including round table discussions and group training sessions.

She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business from Widener University.
