Aug. 24, 2000 - Irvine, California - Oinke, Inc., the preeminent provider of Internet-based commercial finance solutions, and FSBO International Group, Inc. (FSBO) have announced a partnership which provides financing to buyers of hotels, motels, restaurants, and pubs through FSBO's two web sites, Hotels-FSBO.com and Restaurants-FSBO.com. With the addition of Oinke's commercial finance center "Powered by Oinke," FSBO's customers now have access to commercial real estate loans, business loans, and equipment leasing from Oinke's network of 150 lenders.
With the "Powered by Oinke" commercial finance center, FSBO's customers put their financing up for auction.
