THE INTERVIEW

From Corporate Banking to Entrepreneurial Freedom

Adam Eby's path to entrepreneurship was built on a solid foundation of corporate experience. After spending 14 years at Wells Fargo, where he climbed from underwriting to assistant vice president while wearing multiple hats in IT support, implementation, project management, and process improvement, Adam found himself laid off. His expertise in SharePoint development, Lean Six Sigma, and waste elimination led him to a nonprofit organization where he served as a senior analyst for three years in roles similar to his Wells Fargo days.

But after those three years, Adam knew it was time for a change. "After 3 years, it was time for me to fire my boss," he chuckled. "I've always been an entrepreneur by heart and have that feeling inside that I can't describe. But other entrepreneurs know the feeling." Drawing on his banking and consulting background, he saw an opportunity in the commercial lending space where he could work as an entrepreneur alongside other entrepreneurs. With a clear vision of creating something that offered real opportunity for success, helped people, and built long-term sustainability, Adam developed his business plan, branding, website, and began assembling the right partners to approve deals – laying the groundwork for what would become Skyline Solutions Group.

In addition to Adam’s successful corporate career, he holds three Master's Degrees - one in Management and Leadership (MSML), another in Human Resource Management (MSHRM), and a third in Business Administration (MBA). He is a Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and a Certified Lean Practitioner. Furthermore, he a published author of "ONE VOICE, ONE LIGHT: From Doubt to Destiny: Taking the Leap and Inspiring Others," and his work has been published twice in Clay Today, with more publications pending.

Skyline Solution Group’s Newest Service

Expanding Beyond Lending: The Debt Elimination Advantage

After successfully establishing Skyline Solutions Group lending and life insurance services, Adam Eby found himself asking a crucial question: "After establishing the lending side of the business, and now we have life insurance to protect money, what more can I do to help clients?" The answer came in the form of a debt elimination service specifically designed for businesses. While personal debt elimination services are common, Adam recognized a gap in the market for helping business owners tackle their commercial debt more strategically, potentially saving thousands in interest payments that could be reinvested back into their operations.

Smart Technology Meets Strategic Debt Management

The service centers around customizable software that makes debt elimination both simple and powerful. Business owners simply log into their dashboard and input their spending details, allowing the algorithm to understand their natural spending habits and cash flow patterns. "The goal is not to change what you’re doing," Adam explains, "we just want to know everything you're spending money on." The more accurate the information provided, the better the software can identify surplus funds and strategically allocate specific amounts on specific days toward specific bills, methodically calculating interest savings over time while helping businesses eliminate debt as quickly as possible.

A Partnership Approach to Financial Freedom

Adam works with any business owner or non-business owner who has a surplus and is serious about debt reduction, offering a free analysis to demonstrate potential savings. Clients gain access to a tool that empowers them to make informed decisions about their spending while accelerating their path to debt freedom. When a business can save thousands in interest payments, that money can be redirected toward growth, equipment, hiring, or building reserves – transforming debt elimination into a strategic business advantage.

Adam’s Client Centered Approach

Building Relationships Beyond the Transaction

"It's not just about helping a client get a loan, I wanted to help clients start a business they've dreamed about or expand a business," Adam explains. His approach goes far deeper than traditional lending relationships. "I'm here to build the relationship and trust to get to know clients and look out for them and help with their best interest. It's not like you call me and I help you and you never hear from me again." This philosophy drives every aspect of Skyline Solutions Group, where Adam positions himself as a long-term partner in his clients' success rather than just a one-time service provider.

Comprehensive Protection Through Business Life Insurance

Recognizing that financial protection is just as crucial as access to capital, Adam added life insurance and key person insurance to his service offerings. "Not only can I protect what matters on the personal side, I can help protect on the business side," he notes. Life insurance provides essential benefits including succession planning, ensuring business continuity if a key owner or employee passes away, covering business debts and obligations, and providing funds to buy out a deceased partner's share. This coverage gives business owners peace of mind knowing their company and employees are protected, while also serving as a valuable tool for estate planning and business valuation.

Proven Results Across Diverse Industries

Adam's client portfolio spans a wide range of industries (particularly startups), including daycare centers, restaurants, app development firms, real estate investors purchasing commercial or rental properties, massage therapy practices, and franchise owners. His professional approach and streamlined process have delivered real results – recently helping one of my clients secure start-up funding to lease a daycare. Adam welcomes new and growing business owners who maintain above a 700 credit score and can present a solid financial plan for their company, regardless of industry or business stage.

Why do you need a relationship with a strong private lender?

• Speed & Flexibility Close deals in weeks, not months. Move quickly on time-sensitive opportunities while competitors wait for bank approvals.

• Creative Financing Solutions Structure deals that don't fit traditional banking boxes - unique collateral, unconventional properties, or non-standard income situations.

• Relationship-Based Decisions Get approved based on your track record, credit scores, and expertise.

• Access When Banks Say No Alternative lenders now account for nearly 40% of commercial originations, filling the gap when traditional banks become too conservative.

• Long-Term Partnership Work with a partner who supports you through challenges, provides growth capital, and offers ongoing guidance beyond the initial transaction.

Now, let’s get back to the story.

Adam and I got together for lunch to learn more about each other’s businesses. We originally met at a TD Bank (Normandy) small business event. When I learned he was able to bring lending solutions to business owners if they could not secure a loan with the bank, I knew there was a potential for a valuable business relationship. Turns out I was right! He recently helped one of my commercial real estate clients secure funding for his first business. Thanks Adam!

When Adam isn't helping businesses achieve their financial goals, he and his wife love exploring the rich history and attractions that Northeast Florida has to offer. St. Augustine holds a special place in their hearts, where they enjoy everything from ghost tours and visits to the old jail to discovering new restaurants – making it a point to never eat at the same place twice. Their favorite routine includes having coffee across from the Fort, where they spend time people-watching and enjoying views of the water. They're also regular visitors to San Sebastian Winery, where they take tours to learn about the winemaking process, and frequently head to Jax Beach and Mickler's Beach ("Shark Tooth Beach") to soak up Florida's coastal charm.

A Passion for Travel and Cultural Discovery

Beyond Florida's borders, Adam and his wife are avid travelers with ambitious destination goals. Their top three favorite destinations include the Netherlands, Croatia, Aruba, and Sicily – places where they can immerse themselves in different architecture, cuisine, and cultures. "I enjoyed the people, I enjoyed the water," Adam reflects. Whether it's exploring Orlando's theme parks like Disney and Universal Studios or planning international adventures, their travels always center around experiencing new cultures and connecting with people. After six years in Florida, Adam's appreciation for his adopted home state continues to grow.
