Welcome to Belmont Finance. Our company was founded in June of 2005 by John Harris IV. Having been in direct sales for 17 years and financing with many other companies, his original vision was to develop a direct sales finance program that would allow him a greater percent of profit for his sales company. Starting small and slow, he soon realized that with todays technologies and the growth of his own distributorship that it was time to make a move.We hired our first employee, Cara Bloom, who is now the C.O.O. of our company. Six months later, we invited a fellow distributor friend to finance with us, and word started to spread! A good thing doesnt stay quiet for long, and with more distributors asking to sign on, we realized our little company was heading in the right direction. Belmont was created by a direct sales distributor who wanted to be treated fair and honest in his daily business activities. We didnt envision there would be so many distributors looking for that same relationship. Our industry is a dynamic and fast-paced business, so we developed a finance program to meet direct sales distributors needs. Belmonts vision was to start small and simple with its main focus on customer service, not only for the owner and his new-found business growth, but most importantly for the borrower. By the end of 2008, Belmont Finance had grown to 36 distributors in 9 different states. We started to realize that our success wasnt ours at all. It was the distributors that were doing all of the hard work in the field, working 10 - 12 hour days and 6 - 7 days a week. Our original finance model not only stood the test of the most difficult economy of our generation, it also helped with the growth of our participating businesses. By the end of 2010, Belmont had tripled in size to over 120 distributors in 18 states. It was time to add on to the business.
Strong, Solid and Secure — these words are more than hyperbole when describing Texas First Bank. Texas First Bank has maintained its conservative roots through all aspects of market fluctuation. The bank never pursued risky asset investments, like the large banks we are now being forced to support. As a result, the bank continues to be a shining star among all Texas community banks, with the desire and ability to lend money to quality borrowers. Charles T. "Chuck" Doyle, Chairman of the Board, is a pioneer among Texas community bankers. His desire to serve communities by recruiting quality employees who provide superior customer service, a vast array of state-of-the-art products and a commitment to community involvement has allowed Texas First to position itself among the elite community banks of Texas. With the addition of Rust-Ewing Insurance Agency, Texas First Mortgage, Texas First SBA Lending and Texas First Investment Center, the bank is more than just a bank; it is a wide-range financial services institution.
