June 2026 One Park Financial proudly participated in the MIDA Conference & Food Show 2026, one of Puerto Rico's leading business events for the food, retail, distribution, and consumer goods industries. Held from June 25–27 at the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan, the annual event brought together business owners, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and service providers from across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean to exchange ideas, discover new business opportunities, and strengthen industry relationships. Throughout the event, One Park Financial welcomed attendees at its booth to introduce its business funding solutions and connect with entrepreneurs looking for flexible financing options to support the growth of their businesses. What is the MIDA Conference & Food Show? Organized by the Food Marketing Industry and Distribution Chamber (MIDA), the MIDA Conference & Food Show is recognized as one of Puerto Rico's premier business conferences for companies operating in retail, grocery, food distribution, manufacturing, and related industries. Each year, the conference serves as a meeting point where business leaders explore market trends, build partnerships, discover innovative products and services, and connect with organizations that help businesses grow. For companies serving small businesses, MIDA provides an opportunity to engage directly with entrepreneurs and decision-makers from a wide variety of industries. Supporting Small Businesses Beyond Financing For more than 15 years, One Park Financial has helped small businesses connect with trusted funding providers offering working capital solutions designed to meet a variety of business needs. Business owners often seek financing to: - Purchase inventory - Hire employees - Manage cash flow - Invest in equipment - Expand operations - Support marketing initiatives - Prepare for seasonal demand By participating in MIDA 2026, One Park Financial reinforced its commitment to making business funding more accessible while building relationships with entrepreneurs throughout Puerto Rico. Strengthening Connections in Puerto Rico Puerto Rico is home to thousands of small businesses that play a vital role in the local economy. Events like the MIDA Conference & Food Show create valuable opportunities for business owners to connect with organizations that provide products, services, and financial solutions designed to support long-term growth. For One Park Financial Puerto Rico, participating in the event was an opportunity to meet members of Puerto Rico's business community, share information about business funding options, and engage with entrepreneurs across multiple industries.

To learn more, visit oneparkfinancial.com Media contact: media@oneparkfinancial.com About One Park Financial One Park Financial is a leading business financing company headquartered in Miami, FL, helping small and mid-sized businesses access the funding they need to grow. Guided by its mission to invest in dreams, the company prioritizes community engagement and service initiatives across the United States and Puerto Rico.

The fintech company offers small business owners fast, hassle-free funding One Park Financial's VP of Marketing, José Miguel Vera, declared that the firm is "in the business of growth" during an interview with Podcast Prensa Arizona, highlighting that small business owners in the state are facing a critical moment where access to capital can determine their ability to expand. The statement comes on the eve of summer, when events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite not being hosted in Arizona, are driving increased commercial activity across food, hospitality, and service sectors. "We are not in the lending business; we are in the growth business," Vera said while presenting the company's strategy in Phoenix, where One Park Financial maintains an office to serve the Hispanic market across the Southwest. According to the executive, their revenue-based funding model is designed to help businesses move fast when opportunities arise, something he described as essential in an economy like Arizona's. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Arizona is home to more than 650,000 small businesses, which employ nearly 42 percent of the state's private workforce. Many of them, however, operate on tight margins that inflation and rising input costs have compressed even further. A Phoenix Chamber of Commerce survey found that 61 percent of local business owners consider access to working capital their biggest challenge. "One of the greatest obstacles for a small business owner is time," Vera said during the conversation, echoing a message the company shared in a press release on April 29. "Opportunities do not wait, especially in a market like Phoenix. Business owners need capital that moves as fast as they do," he added. One Park Financial allows businesses to pre-qualify in minutes and, in many cases, receive funds the same day. That speed, Vera noted, has been a key factor in recurring clients of the firm growing their sales by an average of 20 percent over the last five years, according to internal company data. The executive advised business owners to act before seasonal demand spikes, prioritize inventory, staff, and equipment that directly drive sales, and maintain tight cash flow visibility so decisions are made with current information, not guesswork. The World Cup, by drawing global attention to North America, is expected to boost regional tourism, something Vera said merchants should be preparing for, not reacting to. The fintech company, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Miami, operates nationally with a technology hub in Plano, Texas. In Arizona, its footprint has grown particularly strong among Latino-owned businesses that often do not qualify for traditional bank loans but do qualify for merchant cash advances. "We do not just look at credit scores; we look at actual business performance," Vera explained.

One Park Financial Is Closing the Capital Gap for Puerto Rico's Small Business Community! In a recent interview with a local media outlet, José Miguel Vera, SVP of Growth & Marketing at One Park Financial, pulled back the curtain on what it actually takes for a Puerto Rican business owner to access capital today — and why the traditional banking system continues to fall short for thousands of entrepreneurs across the island. "The opportunity doesn't wait 30 or 40 days," said Vera. "And neither does the emergency. That's the reality for small and mid-sized businesses here, and that's the gap we exist to close." A Decade of Impact on the Island One Park Financial has operated in Puerto Rico for more than 10 years, funding over $250 million in working capital to local businesses across virtually every industry — from food service and retail to construction and professional services. The company's data tells a compelling story: 55% of funded business owners return for a second round of financing, and that group has seen an average revenue growth of 20% to 30% between fundings. "These aren't just numbers," Vera noted. "They represent restaurants that survived a crisis, contractors who landed a government contract, small shops that made it through slow season. This is what access to capital actually does for a community." Simple Requirements, Same-Day Decisions Unlike traditional lending institutions, One Park Financial's pre-qualification process requires only three things: at least three months in business, an average of $10,000 in monthly sales before expenses, and a commercial bank account. From there, the process moves quickly — funding offers typically range from $5,000 to $500,000, and capital can be available the same day or within a matter of days. The product itself is structured as a merchant cash advance — an advance on future sales — rather than a conventional loan, meaning it carries less weight on a business's balance sheet and the cost of capital is tax-deductible. Understanding Puerto Rico Is Not Optional Vera was direct about a mistake he sees other financial companies make when entering the island's market: treating Puerto Rico like the mainland. "This is not the same market. The business cycles are different. The culture around commerce is different. The relationship between a business owner and their community is different," he said. "We've spent 10 years learning that. And that's what allows us to actually serve these businesses the way they deserve to be served." That commitment to the local market extends to the customer experience itself. From the first inquiry, every client at One Park Financial is connected to a dedicated account representative — a real person who walks them through every step of the process, answers every question, and understands that behind every business is a family, a story, and a dream.
