Somercor Adds SBA 504 Specialist as VP

Locally-based small business lender SomerCor has hired Elisabeth Williams as VP of SBA 504 Lending. Williams most recently served as VP of Wessex 504 Corporation, which she co-founded.

Somerco CEO Manny Flores described Williams as “a proven leader in the SBA 504 market and is a key addition to our talented lending and sales operations. Her background as an entrepreneur and deep understanding of the SBA 504 loan program strengthens our trajectory for accelerated and sustainable growth.”

During Williams’ eight-year tenure at Wessex, she grew its portfolio to more than $110 million.

“The SomerCor mission to provide small businesses access to capital strongly resonates with me, and I look forward to helping expand our footprint throughout Illinois to grow more businesses and create more jobs,” she said.
