Greg Page, the president of Waldorf, Maryland-based Page Building Group, has a proven business strategy when it comes to applying for financing: Send in the White guy.
That was the approach he took when he needed $500,000 to fund the expansion of his previous company to work on government contracts, including a project for the Army in Belize.
“As a small business, it’s expensive to stretch your resources like that, and we didn’t have that kind of capital,” said Page, who is Black.
