After careful thought and consideration, the Board of Directors of Fortes Financial, Inc has decided to wind down operations of the company and its divisions as of November 24, 2008.

Effective immediately, Fortes will not be accepting any new loan submissions nor will it fund any loans currently in the existing pipeline. We regret having to take this action and the disruption it may cause the parties involved.

We want to sincerely thank you for your business and wish you all the best in your future business endeavors. We are committed to making this process as smooth as possible.
