ASHEVILLE, NC (July 21, 2015) - Jason Curtis just got tired of being told no.
Over three years, the Hendersonville man estimates he went to six banks and a handful of credit unions. He hoped for approval for a $25,000 loan — money he needed to buy inventory like bedding and mattresses to grow his furniture business.
Curtis can't remember how many times he sat across from a banker and shared his story, his credit history and his business plan.
But he can't forget all the times he was told no.
