CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 2000

Pinnacle Business Management (OTCBB: PCBM) has announced that it will begin offering the services of its Fast PayCheck Advance subsidiary in at least six locations in the state of Utah later this month. The Utah service centers are the company's first locations outside of Florida. More significantly, they are the first openings in the planned national expansion of the payday loan firm.

"Expanding to Utah is a terrific event for Pinnacle Business Management," said Bruce Hall, president of PCBM. "Fast PayCheck Advance offers a quality service with a unique delivery that is a win-win for everyone involved in the transaction. We can't wait for the day that we are operating from coast to coast and border to border."

PCBM currently has received approval to operate in nine states across the country including Florida, Utah, California, Missouri, Kentucky, Louisiana, Indiana, North Carolina and Idaho. Openings are slated for these states in the coming weeks and months as PCBM plans to have Fast PayCheck Advance operating nationwide by the end of the year.

The new locations will be in-store service centers operating within existing vendor locations. Of PCBM's current 125 locations in Florida, all but four operate in a similar fashion.
