Stephen Bush


Steve Bush grew up on a family-owned farm in southwestern Ohio. After graduating from Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) with a degree in Business Psychology, Steve spent four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy Supply Corps. Following military service he received an MBA degree in Real Estate Finance from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Since then he has served as a business/government advisor and has worked with businesses for more than 30 years.

For many years Stephen Bush has been recognized as one of the most dependable sources of practical and candid explanations about the commercial lending process. His small business consulting expertise is available exclusively through AEX Commercial Financing Group. Steve Bush identified the serious commercial finance problems involved in working with many business lenders several years ago (well before a "financial crisis" was recognized by the general public). The process of dealing with commercial banks and other business lenders has recently become even more difficult. AEX Commercial Financing Group and Stephen Bush are uniquely qualified to help small businesses overcome the difficult challenges involved in securing commercial mortgages, small business loans and working capital financing.

And Now a Few Words from Steve Bush

I am frequently asked questions such as the following during media interviews:

  • What is the biggest problem facing small businesses today?
  • How can a small business compete more effectively with larger companies?
  • When will banks start lending normally again?
  • What are the most important business development strategies for smaller companies to use?

I always do my best to provide a thorough and responsive answer. However, it is the nature of journalism to edit and then edit some more. I rarely see the entire point that I have made come through in a television, radio or print interview. This is one reason that I have chosen to write so much on AEX Commercial Financing Group and other websites — where my thoughts can come through with all of the detail and candor that I had intended.

Each small business is, of course, unique. I do my very best work when consulting privately and individually with each small business owner.
