William Seagraves

President & Founder at CatchFire Funding

Having been dubbed the “Midcareer Entrepreneur Expert,” Bill Seagraves specializes in helping aspiring business owners make the leap from the restraints of corporate America to discover the freedom that small business and franchise ownership can provide. With more than 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur and financial funding expert, Bill is expertly positioned to offer sound advice that has seen hundreds of small business owners not only succeed, but flourish.

In addition to running three of his own companies in the computer services and small business financing arenas, Bill has helped clients establish themselves, growing businesses in retail, restaurant, entertainment, manufacturing, business consulting firms and many other industries.

Bill Seagraves started his career as a successful product development and sales manager in 1984 in the defense industry. Bill had extensive success in large-scale engineering projects and with sales and marketing to the U.S. government. As an entrepreneur at heart, however, Bill moved from California to the Denver area and purchased a small business providing information technology consulting and services. Bill’s company provided services to small and large businesses for eight years, until he successfully transferred that business to one of his employees.

Bill continues to manage this growing staff of extraordinarily capable small business experts, many of them having startup business or franchise experience of their own. Everyone on the CatchFire Funding team is passionate about helping mid-life entrepreneurs grow to be just as successful.

In addition to managing daily operations at CatchFire, Bill is a member of a private, international roundtable of highly successful entrepreneurs. As a recognized expert in the field of small business funding and financing, Bill is regularly invited to share his insights as a speaker and panel presenter at franchise and financing events. Bill’s company specializes in not only sharing information about wealth building with funding and financing strategies, but also in educating his clients on the best practices for building their own businesses.
