Case Study: Heidelberg Bread Company secures USDA-backed financing with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

Heidelberg Bread Company - Customer Case Study

Heidelberg Bread Company, owned by Boyd Bissell in Herkimer, New York, needed help updating its business plan and securing financing for an upcoming expansion. The company turned to SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty for guidance, including support with a USDA guarantee application.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty mentors Phil Owens and Sam Russo helped Bissell write a new business plan and prepare the narrative needed for USDA approval, then connected him with additional financial expertise to complete the package. As a result, Heidelberg Bread Company received the USDA guarantee and Bissell secured a loan to build a new factory, enabling the business to move forward with its expansion.
