 PROFILE
When cabbies need a loan, they hail Ameritrans Capital. The firm owns Elk Associates Funding, a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) that makes loans primarily to Boston, Chicago, Miami, and New York taxicab owners who require financing to buy medallions (city-granted operating licenses). Such loans, which account for about 80% of the firm's portfolio, have long payment terms and low down payments. Elk Associates Funding also makes SBA loans to economically or socially disadvantaged operators of such businesses as dry cleaners, laundromats, car washes, and restaurants. Chairman and CEO Gary Granoff and his family own nearly 40% of Ameritrans Capital. Rival Medallion Financial is set to buy the firm.
