Loans for business owners like you
Start-up
Loans for start-up businesses
Getting a loan to launch your business or within the first two years of operation is near impossible from a traditional bank or lender. Each year, a third of our loans on average go to start-up businesses. Along with an Accessity start-up loan, you will also gain access to guidance and support as you get your business off the ground. We want to help make your dream of owning a business a reality. See some of our templates below to help prepare you to start your own business.
Women-owned
Loans for women-owned businesses
Accessity recognizes the importance of women-owned businesses to their local communities. Women-owned businesses have more than doubled in the last twenty years. Forty percent of Accessity’s portfolio are women and we have the resources and connections to help you grow.
Diverse
Loans for racially and ethnically diverse-owned businesses
Diverse-owned businesses have been growing at twice the national average, and immigrants are nearly twice as likely as native-born Americans to start businesses. Accessity is committed to helping these businesses.
Veterans
Loans for veteran-owned businesses
Veterans are more likely than non-vets to be self-employed, likely because their military training prepares them to excel in running their own business.
Food Business
Loans for food and beverage businesses
Launching a successful food business is challenging, yet Accessity’s clients in the industry experience greater success than the national average. Twenty percent of our loans go to food and beverage businesses each year and each client has exclusive access to mentoring by Sam Adams Beer employees through our national Brewing the American Dream partnership with the Boston Beer Company.
