Meet the Founder – Derrick Avila

With more than 15 years of experience in commercial lending, banking, and financial strategy, Derrick Avila founded C4 Advisory Group to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and financial institutions.

Throughout his career, Derrick has built strong relationships with lenders and investors, while gaining a deep understanding of what it takes for businesses to become truly “capital-ready.” After years in the banking sector, he launched C4 Advisory Group to serve business owners directly—offering hands-on, high-touch financial guidance that empowers companies to secure funding and thrive.

His mission is simple: to give business leaders the clarity and confidence they need to grow with the right capital and strategy behind them.
