Business Lending

Your business is more than your credit score

We are not a bank, so we are more flexible around collateral and equity. From your personal character, down to having a solid business plan, we review your situation more holistically than a bank can. 

We have a business loan size to fit your needs

We provide business loans ranging from $1,000 to $500,000, including loans guaranteed by the Small Business Association. If you need a small business loan, whether you’re just starting out, looking to grow your business, or transitioning business ownership (next generation, employee-owned, etc.) we have a loan to fit your needs.
