Founded in 2010 by John Lie-Nielsen, One Park Financial was born from a simple belief: hardworking small business owners deserve a real shot at growth, even when traditional banks close their doors. A lifelong entrepreneur, John understood firsthand the struggle of building something from the ground up — and set out to level the playing field for those doing the same.
What started in Coconut Grove, Florida, has grown into a company that has helped thousands of small and mid-sized businesses access the working capital they need to grow, hire, and thrive. From family restaurants to neighborhood shops, One Park Financial has turned countless “someday” dreams into funded realities.
Recognized as one of the Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America and certified year after year as a Best and Brightest Companies to work for, One Park Financial keeps its focus where it has always been — on the dreamers and builders who keep our communities alive. That same spirit runs through every Grovie as they stand side by side with small business owners every day.
