Ada Harvey, Truist Bank
by Chip Colandreo
Ada Harvey is an entrepreneur’s entrepreneur. She’s built businesses of her own and helped countless others turn their dreams into reality by connecting business owners with funding and financing sources perfectly tailored to their needs and goals. And now, as part of Truist Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in America, Ada has more tools and resources than ever to not only build businesses but also protect the legacies her clients are working so hard to create.
Build. Grow. Protect.
Before joining Truist, Ada ran her own, highly successful entrepreneurial consulting company (which, as an entrepreneur-at-heart, herself, she built from scratch). She helped men and women bring their business ideas into the world by matching them with the financing sources they need to give their businesses life. In Truist, Ada found a partner that embraces the same entrepreneurial spirit and backs it with the strength of a major national bank.
Once the businesses are born, Truist’s scale and wealth of resources can help them grow quickly – and smartly.
“Peace of mind is a precious commodity when building a business – I know it firsthand,” says Ada, “but peace of mind is exactly what Truist can provide with its size and strength. It’s inspiring for me to work with a team at Truist that cares so deeply about their clients’ success. We have so many tools to build a business and protect it, too. And, when a business owner’s dream becomes a wildly successful reality, we know how to preserve that legacy for generations.
Begin With the End in Mind
Through Truist, Ada can incorporate financial planning into an entrepreneur’s initial business strategy. After all, why do most business owners pour their hearts and souls into a new venture if not to create a better life for their families? Through proper financial planning, they can make sure their families are protected and provided for if the unexpected should ever occur or when the time comes to sell the business or pass it down to their children or relatives.
“At Truist, access to capital is just the beginning,” says Ada. “This is not just a transactional relationship. We are trusted partners here. We walk the entrepreneurial journey together with our clients and their families. I know the roller-coaster of emotions and the ups and downs of building a business. I’m here to help my clients meet those challenges but also look ahead to a time when they deserve to enjoy the rewards of their hard work. With the strength of Truist behind me, I can help a business begin, I can help it grow, and I can protect it every step of the way.”
Right Here, Right Now
Ada believes there is no better place in America to start and grow a new business than right here in Central Florida.
“The potential here is extraordinary,” she says. “This market is so vibrant, and the growth is unprecedented. All business owners need is the right partner, an institution that is so much more than just a vendor. That’s what I’ve found in Truist, and that’s what I’m so proud to offer my clients.”
Ada has long been a one-on-one consultant for her entrepreneurial clients. Now that she’s part of Truist Bank, her relationship-centered service remains, but her wealth of available resources is now on a truly national scale.
“Business owners don’t have to navigate the intricacies of finance, financial planning, and wealth management on their own,” Ada says. “They are craving a big, stable bank willing to step in as a genuine partner – one that prioritizes strategic guidance and long-term growth over simple transactions. That’s what I offer here at Truist.”
