Built on Vision, Backed by the Right Partner

How Daniel Serino and Alvaro Gomez used One Park Financial funding to grow Forlin, reinvest in new products and infrastructure, and build a kitchen and bath brand designed to scale across South Florida and beyond.

Daniel Serino and Alvaro Gomez did not stumble into the kitchen and bath industry. They saw a problem and decided to solve it. After years of experience in remodeling and construction across South Florida, they identified clear gaps in the market: poor customer service, limited product variety, and prices that put quality out of reach for too many people. That observation became the foundation of Forlin, their kitchen and bath solutions company built on service, selection, and a commitment to the customer that does not end at the sale.

What makes Forlin different is not just the products. It is the culture. Daniel and Alvaro have worked alongside their team for decades, some relationships spanning 25 years or more. This is not just a business. It is a community of people who grew up in commerce together and now share a common vision: to build something lasting, something replicable, and something that truly serves the South Florida market and beyond.

Their growth plan is ambitious. Expanding to new locations, strengthening their web presence, reinvesting profits into new products and infrastructure, and eventually reaching markets outside of Florida. But growth requires capital, and traditional banks are rarely willing to support businesses in their early stages, no matter how solid the vision.

One Park Financial understood what the banks did not. They provided the working capital Daniel and Alvaro needed to keep moving forward, without the barriers and delays that slow most small businesses down. For two partners with 40 years of friendship and a shared dream, having a financial partner that believed in them from the start made all the difference.
Today, Forlin is doing exactly what they set out to do: consolidating a model built on trust, expanding their reach, and proving that great service and the right support can turn any vision into reality.
