What makes us different
- We support and fund established businesses AND startups
- We have technical assistance resources to help clients improve areas of their business plan and financial statements so they can become more qualified applicants
- We refer to our resource partners when areas of credit, capacity, or character need attention
- We are a non-profit, providing loans and technical assistance thanks to USDA RMAP, USDA IRP, SBA microloans, full SBA 7A, SBAexpress, RIBA free, ITIN, and outside private sources including individuals, organizations/corporations, and financial institutions.
- 100% of our loan clients are ineligible for traditional loans from banks. Through our funding, small business owners are able to access the financial resources to launch or grow a successful business. For us, success means that these owners can create living-wage jobs for themselves, their families, and their staff. This success allows them to positively impact the community around them, and also "graduate" to utilize traditional funders as their business grows.
