DCMS Circle of Friends
We are excited to introduce two new participants in DCMS Circle of Friends for 2008—Guaranty Bank’s Professional Banking Group and Compass Bank Business Lending Division. Watch your mail and the DCMS website for more information about their services.

Compass Bank Business Lending Division is a specialized lending arm to the Medical Services Division of Compass Bank. They are a group of banking business professionals that specialize in lending to the healthcare arena. Their bankers keep up with the medical industry and strive to be the premier lending source for physicians currently located or considering moving in to the Dallas and Fort Worth area. They are the only division of the bank that serves as a boutique lender to physicians. All of the lending decisions are headquartered in Dallas, which allows them to expedite loan decisions in a quick and timely manner.

Guaranty Bank’s Professional Banking Group provides comprehensive financial strategies and access to customized credit, deposit and investment solutions with a focus on physicians and the credit needs of their practices in areas such as:

• Commercial real estate lending
• Leasehold improvement financing
• Professional Practice Acquisition Loans
• Equipment Loans and Lines of Credit
• Working Capital Loans and Lines of Credit

Look for future Friends to be joining the ranks soon. If you currently do business with a company that really impresses you, please send the company name and their contact person as a referral to lauren@dallas-cms.org. The purpose for DCMS Circle of Friends is to provide a valuable base of resources to assist you in the business of medicine, so that your practice of medicine can improve.
