Chicago Events Planner Achieves Long-Time Dream With Help From LISC

Ardul Aquino founded Tu Party Chicago in 2012 to make events at any price point possible, starting small by renting tables, chairs and tents for parties and events. Aquino dreamed of purchasing a location to offer to clients to host their events and better serve his clientele. With support from Wells Fargo’s Open for Business Fund, LISC financed a $528,000 acquisition loan for Tu Party to purchase their first commercial property. LISC underwriters worked with Aquino in Spanish, his first language, to get his loan materials together.
