Synovus opens doors to help owners of Interior Specialties expand
When Dave Riley and Bob Robinson decided to purchase Window Interiors in 2015, they quickly grew dissatisfied with the bank handling their financing. “In contrast to the personal relationship we had with the seller, our CPA, our attorney, and our entire acquisition team, it didn’t feel like there was much of a relationship there,” Dave says. When they were introduced to the banker at Synovus, things started to change.
Synovus understood that the duo needed a strong financial partner with experience in helping small, fast-growing businesses expand. Synovus provided the financing needed to closes the deal. A business line of credit (expanded since then) provided capital for growth, and credit card processing was also part of the solution.
Today, now doing business as Interior Specialties, the company designs and installs advanced window treatment solutions that can be integrated into total building management systems. Their solar shade systems, blinds, shutters, draperies, and related furnishings are used in hospitals, hotels, universities, restaurants, corporate offices, arenas, museums, and other environmentally sensitive buildings in Florida and across the country.
"Synovus has always been helpful in connecting the dots and introducing us to people we need to know in the community. This goes beyond banking into the kind of relationship we need as a growing company."
The future looks bright, thanks to growing awareness of the need to reduce energy bills and protect environments from solar damage. Dave, now president, and Bob, who is executive vice president, have a great relationship with Synovus and are often in touch with their financial team. “Our banker has always been helpful in connecting the dots and introducing us to people we need to know in the community,” Dave says. “This goes beyond banking into the kind of relationship we need as a growing company.”
