MEET OUR FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
Gary Akali
With more than 20 years of experience in banking, credit unions, mortgages, commercial lending and business finance, Gary Akali brings a hands-on, relationship-focused approach to every client and every financing request.
Gary’s background includes working directly within the banking and credit union system, giving him an inside understanding of how lenders review, structure and approve financing — and, just as importantly, how to navigate situations that may not fit neatly inside traditional lending guidelines.
A MESSAGE FROM GARY
Financing guidance from experience
Watch Gary share a practical financing insight for business owners. Westline was built to give clients experienced, straightforward guidance without leaving them to guess where their financing request belongs.
Personal service from first conversation to funding
Your financing request is not simply handed off to a junior associate or another broker after the initial conversation. Gary personally works with his clients throughout the financing process — from understanding the opportunity and structuring the request, to lender negotiations, approvals and funding.
Clients gain direct access to Gary’s experience, established funding relationships and extensive lender network, built over more than two decades in the finance industry.
Whether you’re looking for:
- Commercial or residential mortgage financing
- Business financing and lines of credit
- Equipment financing
- Construction or development financing
- Refinancing or equity take-outs
- Alternative or private financing
Gary’s goal is simple: understand your situation, find the right financing solution quickly and personally guide you every step of the way.
