LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always
be what you’ve always been.” We don’t know who said it,
but we like what it says about not settling for the status
quo. Because at TEDC, we don’t.
Last year our refusal to “do what we’ve always done”
drove increases in loan dollars facilitated, businesses
served and new jobs created.
LOAN
Programs
Our shared commitment to doing more led to a partnership
with Bank of Oklahoma to create a $500,000 loan fund
at TEDC Creative Capital in 2007, increasing the ability
of both organizations to assist Oklahoma entrepreneurs.
Our non-traditional lending
programs help entrepreneurs
start or expand a company.
Our determination (and our clients’) not to “be what
we’ve always been” prompted implementation of a
new entrepreneurship educational program in 2007,
called FastTrac®.
A practical, hands-on business development curriculum,
FastTrac helps existing and aspiring entrepreneurs to
hone their skills in creating, managing and growing a
successful business.
SBA 504 LOAN
SBA 7(a) LOAN
In 2008, we look forward to opening the doors to even
more funding, training and programs, thanks in part to
our recent certification as a Community Development
Financial Institution.
Because for us, for our clients, for our community, doing
more to be more is what small business is all about.
Jeff Walderich,
President

Awards
Bank of Oklahoma
Partner of the year
Since 2004, BOK Senior Vice President
Paula Bryant-Ellis has overseen the bank’s
investment of $49 million in Oklahoma
economic development. Last year, $500,000
of that was entrusted to TEDC Creative Capital
to fund start-ups and small business expansion.
“Somebody might have a vision for
something, but they’re not ready for the
traditional mainstream of banking,” explains
Paula. ”Partnering with TEDC Creative Capital
opens up a door of opportunity—for job
creation, job retention, building equity.”
“When we work with organizations like TEDC
Creative Capital, we’re building that dream of
entrepreneurship … and it is very rewarding.”
— PAULA BRYANT ELLIS

Tim Johnson
SMALL BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
Tim purchased his 47-year-old fastener distributorship
in May 2001, just as the economy came undone.
Within two years, revenue declined 42 percent.
A loan from TEDC Creative Capital gave Tim breathing
room to get Elderco back on track … and then some,
with a record year in 2006. “They understand the real
needs of a small business,” he says. “They’ll certainly
be a part of anything I do down the road.”
“It’s very satisfying to feel like the people
who know small business recognize the work
you put into it.”

Josefine Olmos
Micro Enterprise of the year
Josefine was just 20 when her boss decided to sell his tax
business in 2003, but wise enough to seize an opportunity.
She and her husband put up their savings, along with financing
from a mentor until her TEDC Creative Capital loan closed.
Her business thriving, Josefine will pay off her loan in 2008.
“I was lucky that TEDC Creative Capital believed in my
business plan and me,” she says. “They were supportive
from day one.”
“This whole thing … TEDC, everything … has been a
blessing to my life. This is the American dream for me.”
