About this pro

I'm now semi-retired and have had 40+ years of assisting SMALL BUSINESSES (not personal financial aid) with their financial alternatives, the last 18 years with GovCons financing, marketing, and sales. Please see my LinkedIn profile (www,linkedin.com/in/RichardLewisDC), as well as my website, www.fecltd.net.

There are many things that I enjoy my work: the people, various businesses in different fields, truly helping businesses with their financing alternatives, negotiations, travel, and most of all, hearing their success stories. There are other things, but time, space here, etc. Some of the more interesting clients have been a manufacturer of fire engines (and steered back end of a hook and ladder fire truck), driven a Shamo airship, blimp, around Disney World, and of course, the importers of men's and women's medium-high priced garments when I was in NYC. I had some really gorgeous Italian suits and my ex had some beautiful dresses and suits. Yeah, there are numerous others, all ways a new company, industry, and challenge.

Richard is very detail-oriented and timely. He quickly provided me with several alternatives that were tailored to my needs. I also appreciated the time he took to explain all the details to me so I truly had an understanding of the situation and was able to make a well-informed decision.

My company needed some urgent financing and through his contacts Richard enabled us to receive that financing. I therefore would recommend anyone interested in receiving financing help to contact Richard direct.

We have been working with Richard in introducing FTS’ Government Procurement Card processing to banks and government contractors. He has been very instrumental in introducing FTS to many players in the government market. He most recently referred a client and we were able to lower their credit card processing fees by 44%, 4.05% to 2.26%. Richard has demonstrated he is willing to do whatever it takes to insure that clients receive the best financial assistance.

During a portion of Richard's tenor with Wells Fargo - Richard worked for me as a Business Development Officer within our Government Financing Group at Wells Fargo Bank. During the time Richard and I worked directly together I gained a strong respect for Richard's tireless work ethic as well as his ability to quickly ascertain the financial strengths and working capital needs of a prospective business client. I also appreciated the fact that Richard possesses a real desire to assist all businesses and individuals he comes in contact with in regards to finding solutions for their individual financing needs thus, through his extensive network of contacts, Richard was able to match up a business' needs/desires with the right financing source/solution.

Richard has been instrumental in helping Clason Point Partners Inc. secure financing for our government contracts. He's extremely knowledgeable and as a former small business owner clearly understands the myriad of hurdles facing most small business owners. I appreciate his tireless effort and his timely advice.

I've known Richard for over 10 years. During that time he has illustrated his knowledge of how small business and the government work together. He has an in-depth and extensive know-how of alternative financing and the bank, non-bank, and service professionals that provide services to small business government contractors.

Richard was the first professional we spoke with after over a half-dozen conversations with specialists in the industry who could really capture our specific scenario and provide targeted insight that lead to a real solution. He is a trusted resource for our company now and I would highly recommend his services.

It is rare to find a consultant that has the in depth knowledge of the government contracting industry along with the sales and underwriting skills to structure and close the transaction. I have known Richard for ten years in the industry. I value and respect our relationship. I look forward to working with Richard in future years.

Mr. Lewis has been instrumental in working with our team, introducing Godman Power Group to new clients and markets in the United States. We attribute our success and project growth directly to Mr. Lewis' marketing direction and vision. Godman Power Group highly recommends companies to work with him in growing their own business revenues.
