Local Business Champions, a platform dedicated to celebrating outstanding local businesses and the individuals behind them, proudly presents an exclusive feature on Steve Chatman, the Regional Managing Partner of J. Galt Finance Suite. This article delves into the personal journey, business insights, and community involvement of Steve Chatman, offering readers a unique glimpse into the man driving significant financial solutions for businesses nationwide.


From New York to Virginia: A Journey of Growth and Community

Steve Chatman’s story begins in the New York metro area (Go Bills!), where he was born and raised. Nine years ago, he relocated to Gainesville, Virginia, a move that he describes as transformative. “Gainesville is an area of community and diversity,” Steve remarks. “It’s a place where you still see children playing outside, and it has a strong sense of togetherness. It’s just a great place to live.”


Professional Path and Mission

Steve Chatman currently holds the title of Regional Managing Partner at J. Galt Finance Suite, a financial technology company specializing in business consultation and corporate credit development. Based in Gainesville, Virginia, Steve’s role encompasses helping businesses develop robust credit profiles, allowing them to secure real corporate credit and separate their personal and business finances.


“Many business owners rely on personal credit to fund their businesses, which can limit their growth and increase financial risks,” Steve explains. “At J. Galt Finance, we focus on creating a strong credit profile on the business’s EIN, enabling them to access higher limits and lower interest rates, ultimately fostering financial freedom and business scalability.”


A Unique Value Proposition

One of the key differentiators for J. Galt Finance Suite, as highlighted by Steve, is their commitment to providing a white-glove experience for their clients. “We walk business owners through the entire process, ensuring they understand every step and feel supported,” Steve says. “Our platform not only helps build corporate credit but also offers a money-back guarantee if we don’t deliver on our promises.”


Personal Motivation and Significant Life Events

Steve’s dedication to helping businesses stems from a combination of professional background and personal experiences. With a career in sales and technology, Steve found a perfect synergy in the fintech world. However, a pivotal moment in his life was the passing of his mother, which significantly influenced his career trajectory.


“The most significant event was the passing of my mother a couple of years ago. I think that was part of what made me reevaluate my life and my goals. It gave me the clarity to pursue what truly matters and to help others achieve their dreams,” Steve shares. “This personal loss made me understand that time is precious. Thus, that's why I'm so passionate about wanting to help business owners understand that there are different ways to fund your business.”


Community Involvement and Charitable Work

Beyond his professional endeavors, Steve is deeply committed to charitable work and community involvement. He is a proud member of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, and has also been awarded Alignable’s Local Business Person Of 2024 in the Haymarket, VA area. He has been involved with various organizations, including Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Vietnam Veterans Association. His contributions have even earned him the President’s Volunteer Service Award. 


“Giving back to the community is a core value for me and my family,” Steve notes. “We are involved in several charitable organizations, and I also run a mentoring program aimed at nurturing the next generation of leaders. It’s about leaving our society better than what it is today”


Business Insights and Advice

When asked about what sets J. Galt Finance Suite apart from competitors, Steve emphasizes the importance of trust and transparency. “A business consultant should not be someone who's trying to sell you something; we are here to educate and advise,” he asserts. “The best business consultant is one who provides clear, transparent information and empowers you to make informed decisions.”


Steve also highlights the necessity of having personal testimonials and reviews, saying  “Personal testimonials are crucial for building trust with potential clients. I’m always actively gathering more client feedback to enhance our credibility and online presence.”


Family and Hobbies

Steve is a family man, married with two children, all of whom have moved to Virginia along with him and his wife. “We love it here, and it’s been a great place for our family,” he says. In his spare time, Steve enjoys working out, exploring the outdoors, and diving deep into the world of music. “I love understanding the history and details behind music – who wrote it, where it was recorded, all of it,” he shares.


A Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Steve is excited about the growth potential for J. Galt Finance Suite. The company nationally has experienced triple-digit growth, a testament to the value and necessity of their services. “Access to capital is a major challenge for many businesses, and we are here to bridge that gap,” he states. “Our goal is to continue expanding our reach and helping more businesses achieve financial independence.”


Final Thoughts

Steve Chatman’s journey is one of resilience, dedication, and a deep commitment to both his professional and personal communities. His story is a testament to the impact that one individual can have on the lives of many through a combination of professional expertise and a heartfelt desire to make a difference. Steve makes sure to local business owners that getting access to business credit is a real possibility.


 “I aim to be a trusted advisor. My objective is to provide information for you that can be of use to inform whatever approach or strategy you're using to make your business successful.” Steve continues with a concluding remark by saying, “Education is power and as I like to say a 30 minute consultation with me is free. I make business fundable.”
