Having funded over $500 million to small businesses, Parabilis is making a difference with every day. Our borrowers provide valuable services to the government at all levels, across all industries – from classified to general services to selling laptops to the Department of Education, and everything in between.
We are proud to bring our values to clients – service through financial guidance, flexibility, and transparency. Service is at our center because it defines our leadership and our values. And our leadership has been defined by their service to our country.
Many government contractors know Dr. Edward H. Bersoff as a pioneer in our industry. However, did you know that he was a military officer who worked at NASA? Did you know that he was inspired to national service by his small business-owning father, who fought in World War II?
More than anything else, it was the military experience which instilled in Dr. Bersoff a desire to include others in his success. It’s why he co-founded Parabilis – to bring others up in his wake. As he said in 2019 when he was inducted into the Greater Washington Government Contractor Awards Hall of Fame, Dr. Bersoff stood on the shoulders of others when he came to this town 50 years ago. These World War II veterans inspired him, and he is now paying it forward.
Military service has likewise defined our CEO, Bruce Lyman. With 30 years of service, including 20 trips to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the CENTCOM AOR, Bruce knows what it’s like to serve. He has personally seen how great partners and leaders can make a difference in a single person’s life – or, in his case, thousands of people as a former Colonel in the Air Force.
Bruce, Dr. Bersoff, and the entire team at Parabilis are putting our best service at your disposal. Do you need credit fast? Call us. Do you need CFO-level financial guidance and strategy? Give us a ring. Do you need to know exactly what you’re getting when you work with us? Let’s talk it through.
We are here to serve you because we know what it’s like to serve. And it’s our pleasure to pay it forward to you.
