Fairhope, Alabama — November 3, 2026 — Ross Sykes, founder of Homefront Lending, LLC, has successfully completed the prestigious Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, a nationally recognized initiative designed to help entrepreneurs strengthen their businesses, accelerate growth, and create economic opportunities in their communities.
The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program provides entrepreneurs with practical business education, access to resources, and a powerful network of fellow business owners. Participants receive intensive training in financial management, marketing, leadership, business strategy, and sustainable growth planning.
For Sykes, graduating from the program represents an important milestone in his continued commitment to building Homefront Lending into a trusted mortgage resource for homebuyers, homeowners, military veterans, and families throughout Alabama and beyond.
“Participating in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program has been an incredible opportunity to step back, evaluate our business, and develop a stronger vision for the future,” said Sykes. “As a business owner, you’re constantly focused on serving your customers and managing day-to-day operations. This experience challenged me to think bigger, become a stronger leader, and build a strategic plan that will help Homefront Lending continue to grow while staying true to our mission.”

This program has given me additional tools and perspective to take that mission even further.”
