Four Bands Accomplishments | Customer Success Stories

Nichole White Eyes, Owner, Graphic Gallery D&D Plumbing and Heating owned by Gerald Davidson

"I started my business in November 2004 after completing the C.R.E.A.T.E. Training Program offered by the Four Bands Community Fund. I have always had an interest in the graphic industry and had previously done a lot of designing and printing in the past as a hobby, but decided there was definitely a need for it in the Eagle Butte area. With help and persuading from family members, friends and Four Bands, I decided to take the risk and purchase the equipment and software needed to start up a small print shop in my home. I'm enjoying the challenge of creating and printing my own designs and it would not have been possible without the help of Four Bands and its great employees."

Gerald Davidson, owner of D&D Plumbing and Heating in Eagle Butte, provides another success story. Gerald received technical assistance and a small business loan from Four Bands, then leveraged Four Bands' loan to obtain a small business loan and a loan guarantee from the US Small Business Administration. He used this support to expand his business by building a new retail space, a business office, and an area for sheet metal fabrication. The expansion also allowed Gerald to hire more employees. Gerald Davidson says, “Without the small business loan from Four Bands Community Fund, the new building would not have been possible for D&D Plumbing and Heating. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Four Bands!”
