Over the past 30 years, Willem Polak has built a thriving riverboat tour business, fueled in part by two 504 loans. Today, a new 504 loan is funding the construction of two new water taxis, which will transport passengers on the 20-minute run from Washington, D.C.  to the new National Harbor – a massive new 300-acre waterfront destination.

By linking Alexandria, Virginia to the National Harbor, Polak’s ferries will boost the economic development of the city. Polak anticipates, "This investment will double our business, adding another 150,000 passengers to our yearly tally. The 504 loan from Business Finance Group gives me the best leverage to fuel that growth."
