Dakota Business Lending (DBL) is pleased to welcome Josh Klug to their team as a Business Development and Commercial Loan Officer, working to develop and foster relationships with lenders, small businesses, economic development professionals, and other partners. Based out of DBL’s headquarter office in Fargo, he will be serving Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo and surrounding communities.
Originally from Grand Forks, ND, Klug has spent a majority of his career in the business, entrepreneurship, and financing world. He brings with him over 18 years of experience, 9 of which were spent in financial consulting, 6 in banking, and most recently, 4 as co-founder of a data analysis company in North Dakota called Aethero. This firsthand knowledge makes him a strong advocate for small business owners looking to access the financing and resources they need to succeed.
He will be working to educate lenders and partners on DBL’s SBA 504 and Direct Business Loan program, as well as their other non-financing resources, to support small business owners as they start, grow, and expand their businesses.
Klug was drawn to the organization due to its mission and purpose centered on driving regional economic growth while cultivating strong, collaborative relationships within their entrepreneurial communities. He looks forward to creating meaningful impact by driving innovation and unlocking the region’s full potential for growth.
In his free time, Klug enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, and two dogs. He and his family enjoy local arts, sports, music, and being with friends and family.
