Elliot Weiss

Managing Partner, On The Run Oil Change

I cannot say enough thanks to James Felds and Focustar Advisory Services. My company was in a bad spot due to prior mistakes and other factors and I didn’t know where to turn. Thankfully, I was referred to James and in a short time frame, he and his team tackled the issues (there were many) and it feels like I have a brand new company and the future is bright! Between the general advice, financial steps advised and taken, bookkeeping services and much more, I feel like I can breathe again.

I have had the privilege of working with Jim on several project finance arrangements for complex energy projects. Not only has he been a pleasure to work with, his industry knowledge, coupled with a clear understanding of project finance needs, has made his contribution a cornerstone to our success.

David Jacobs

Managing Member, Langtree Development, LLC

I engaged Jim Felds and the team to consult on an apartment/retail project we had been developing as a lakeside condo construction project called Langtree fell on deaf ears to the lending community during the banking crisis. With Focustar's help we were able to obtain an invitation from HUD for approximately $37,000,000 - the largest single loan ever invited in North Carolina history.
