Brett Atkins believes small businesses are the backbone of the country, and their success is essential to economic growth and prosperity.
As a HomeTrust Manager responsible for SBA and USDA lending, he’s committed to partnering with his team to ensure entrepreneurs across the United States obtain the necessary capital to open, acquire, and expand their business and purchase commercial real estate.
He believes government-guaranteed lending options function as an incubator to get ideas off the ground, and he feels thankful to be part of life-changing funding moments by providing loan options from $350K to $5MM.
He has personally handled a $3MM SBA business acquisition loan to assist in the purchase of a general contractor company in South Carolina; a $3.7 SBA business acquisition loan to help with the purchase of an assisted living facility business in Florida; a $2.1MM SBA business loan to finance the purchase of an owner-occupied commercial real estate for a gas station/convenience store in North Carolina; and a $700K SBA business loan to finance the expansion of an auto franchise in Minnesota.
Brett counts decades of financial expertise which include positions at Wells Fargo and First National Bank, where he was responsible for SBA lending and relationship management. He joined HomeTrust in 2020 and appreciates a bank that still has a “community feel.”
Brett graduated from Appalachian State University and the School of Banking at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
He is married with two children and active with Christ Fellowship Church and the Boy Scouts of America. He also plays tennis and enjoys visiting Siesta Key in Florida with his family.
