Tim started Apple Capital 11 years ago as an asset-based lending company to help companies that were non-bankable get loans during the 2008 crash, and to provide education courses and information to small businesses; for which he developed a radio show aptly named ‘The Core Business Show”. In 2018, Apple Capital was gifted to Apple Community Development Corporation.
