Republic Business Credit Promotes Dorner to SVP, Business Development Officer

October 07, 2025, 07:44 AM

Republic Business Credit announced the promotion of Eric Dorner to Senior Vice President, Business Development Officer. Dorner's promotion underscores his commitment to honing his craft and building long-term relationships within the finance community. This promotion reflects Dorner’s dedication to understanding the needs of his clients and his key role in Republic’s growth.

Dorner began his career in secured finance more than 15 years ago. Recognizing his talent for understanding client needs and leveraging creative solutions, Dorner was quickly transitioned to a sales role. Since joining Republic in 2016, he has been a key driver of growth, consistently building a robust portfolio of clients.

In 2025 alone, Dorner has closed several new client facilities exceeding $40,000,000 to entrepreneurial and private equity owned businesses across the Midwest. Highlighting this success, a $10 million Asset-based loan was recognized by the Secured Finance Network as a recipient of the 2025 Impact Award for "Transaction of the Year."

Dorner is a recognized leader in the field of secured finance. He served as the President of the Secured Finance Network (Midwest/Chicago) chapter in 2023 and is a regular volunteer for the TMA Midwest Chapter as well.

“I am humbled to receive this recognition and will continue to assist with Republic's mission of providing innovative and creative financing solutions to the middle and lower-middle market companies,” stated Dorner. “I look forward to continuing to collaborate with our clients to help them achieve their goals and thrive in a dynamic and ever-changing market.”

Dorner has worked with Republic President, Robert Meyers, throughout his career in secured lending. Meyers reflects on their long-standing partnership: “It’s rare and fun to see what’s possible when ambition and humility work hand in hand together, while keeping the well-being of clients at the forefront.”  Meyers added, “It’s been an honor to watch him grow and develop from a temporary collateral analyst to President of our local trade association and now to his promotion as SVP, and I look forward to seeing what he accomplishes in the next 15 years!”
