Angelika Coghlan - Certified Business Performance Advisor, Insperity
There are people that are simply “good humans” that have your best interests as their priority, both personally and professionally. Arlene Martin is one of those people.

I started working with Arlene a little over 6 years ago; she was the loan officer on several transactions in which I represented the Buyer, and they were all SBA loans, and that complicates any transaction.

Arlene is hyper communicative; always willing to take a call, evenings, very early mornings, and weekends —— always willing to “double check” always willing to look at “other options” all in order find the best solution for her client.

I am looking forward to continuing my professional relationship with her, as she embarks with Martin Financial Resources.

Elisa Ruer, Praktess Law
I have had the privilege of working with Arlene Martin on various projects and business challenges over the past three years, and I can confidently say she has been an invaluable partner to my success.

What sets Arlene apart is her genuine approach to problem-solving. She consistently takes the time to truly listen and understand the nuances of each situation I bring to her. Rather than offering quick fixes, Arlene carefully assesses the full scope of my business issues and demonstrates a remarkable ability to connect seemingly disparate challenges to uncover comprehensive solutions.

Her thoughtful methodology has helped me navigate complex business decisions with confidence. Whether addressing operational hurdles, strategic planning challenges, or day-to-day issues, Arlene brings both expertise and empathy to every interaction.

After three years of collaboration, I couldn’t be happier to have Arlene in my corner. Her consistent support and insightful guidance have been instrumental in helping me overcome obstacles and achieve my business goals. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a dedicated professional who truly invests in their clients’ success.

Jasmine Mercado, J&J Investments of MKE LLC and Vida Capital Logistics Inc.

I have had the privilege of working with Arlene over the past five years. During this period, we collaborated on several SBA transactions during her tenure at Huntington Bank. Arlene consistently demonstrated a proactive approach with my clients and referrals, ensuring expectations were clearly set and any issues were addressed promptly to prevent delays. Given the complexity of SBA financing and its extensive documentation requirements, Arlene’s attention to detail was exemplary, maintaining a streamlined and comprehensible process throughout. She treated my clients with the utmost respect, care, and integrity. I have always valued her professionalism and approach.

I look forward to working with Arlene as she relaunches MFR LLC. Her extensive banking experience will benefit her clients, and I strongly recommend her for M&A transactions.

Steve Aubrey, Lake Country Advisors
Looking for a new loan, a refinance, acquiring a business or expansion? Do not do it yourself! Banking rules have become more complex and challenging.

Look to a seasoned pro.  My first choice is to go to Arlene Martin.  Having worked with her on multiple transactions, she knows the ropes and how to organize and present the financial information in a way most favorable to you. Arlene will be your advocate and scour the market to find you financing that is the best fit for your needs.

I look forward to working with Arlene as she relaunches MFR LLC. Her decades of experience in the banking industry will be valuable to her clients. I highly recommend Arlene for any M&A transactions or other financing needs.

Al Kutchins Aprio - Founder, Kutchins, Robbins & Diamond, Ltd
I’ve known Arlene for many years, both as a friend and a colleague. She has a deep understanding of the financial industry and consistently delivers excellent results.

Her turnaround time is impressive, and she consistently provides an outstanding customer experience.
