At Virginia Community Capital’s 10 year anniversary celebration, the bank highlighted success stories across Virginia. Keith Sanders’ screen printing business, Classic Creations, started as a hobby. But when friends encouraged him to turn it into a business, he began looking at how and where he could start his shop. With a grant from the Virginia Tobacco Commission, he found the building and had orders under way but no financing in place. After being turned down by traditional banks, he was introduced to VCC. “The banks kept saying no, no, no,” said Sanders. “[B]ut VCC didn’t say no.”
