As both a veteran and Mexican American business owner, Dr. Duran represents the diverse entrepreneurial landscape that strengthens our communities. His journey from concept to successful practice demonstrates how the right support can turn healthcare dreams into community assets.
The Critical Partnership That Made It Possible
Every healthcare entrepreneur knows that having clinical expertise is only part of the equation for success. The business foundation—particularly financial planning and loan preparation—can make or break even the most skilled practitioner's dreams. For Dr. Duran, this critical support came through his partnership with SBDC Advisor Orlando Colmenero.
"The SBDC was pivotal in helping me secure a business loan from the SBA and Frost Bank," Dr. Duran reflects on the transformative assistance he received. "Without the help of Mr. Orlando Colmenero, I would not have been able to create the spreadsheets of business projections necessary for the loan."
The SBDC assistance proved essential in several key areas:
Financial Projections Development: Orlando worked closely with Dr. Duran to create comprehensive business projections that met the exacting standards required by both SBA and traditional bank lending.
Loan Package Preparation: The detailed documentation and financial modeling necessary for successful SBA loan approval required specialized expertise that the SBDC provided.
Responsive Support: When revisions were needed following feedback from the bank and SBA, Orlando's commitment went above and beyond typical business hours, demonstrating the personal dedication that sets SBDC apart.
Going Above and Beyond
One moment particularly stands out in Dr. Duran's experience, showcasing the exceptional commitment that defines SBDC service. When the bank and SBA requested revisions to the loan documentation, Orlando didn't hesitate to provide weekend support.
"Mr. Colmenero reached out and helped me on a Saturday afternoon," Dr. Duran recalls with evident gratitude. "His service and dedication to my specific case is a testament of what the SBDC is."
This level of personalized attention and flexible support demonstrates how SBDC advisors understand that entrepreneurial challenges don't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. When dreams hang in the balance, SBDC advisors like Orlando are there to ensure success.
A Mission of Healing
Victory Chiropractic LLC stands for more than just business success—it represents a commitment to community health and wellness. As a family-owned practice focused on drug-free treatments, Dr. Duran and his team are addressing a critical need in healthcare by providing alternatives to pharmaceutical interventions.
"We are on a mission to help as many people as possible through chiropractic care and drug-free treatments," Dr. Duran explains, highlighting the deeper purpose that drives his practice. This approach resonates particularly strongly in communities seeking holistic healthcare options and practitioners who view healing as more than just symptom management.
Representing Underserved Communities
Victory Chiropractic's success carries special significance as both a veteran-owned and Mexican American-owned business. Dr. Duran's achievement adds to the growing diversity of healthcare providers and demonstrates the vital role that underrepresented entrepreneurs play in expanding access to care. His success story serves as inspiration for other veterans and minority entrepreneurs who may be considering healthcare ventures, showing that with the right support and determination, these dreams are absolutely achievable.
The Ripple Effect of Impact
Dr. Duran's philosophy extends far beyond his individual practice, reflecting a deep understanding of how one person's actions can create lasting change: "We never know how far reaching something that we may think, say or do will affect the lives of millions tomorrow."
This wisdom captures both his approach to patient care and his broader vision for community impact. Every patient helped, every family served, and every person who finds relief through drug-free treatment becomes part of a larger mission of healing.
From Gratitude to Growth
The success of Victory Chiropractic represents more than just a business achievement—it's a testament to the power of dedicated support and unwavering commitment. As Dr. Duran puts it: "I know he is a very humble man, but without him, and without the SBDC, there would not be a Victory Chiropractic. Thank you all for the work you do, you are changing the lives of many for the better!"
With the solid foundation provided through SBDC partnership and SBA financing, Victory Chiropractic is positioned to expand its healing mission and serve even more community members seeking drug-free healthcare solutions.
