FINANCIAL INCLUSION + ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

8,000 entrepreneurs and businesses are declined for small business financing every day in the United States because they didn’t apply to the right funder.

As noted by Karen Mills, distinguished senior fellow at Harvard University and former head of the U.S. Small Business Administration:

“There is a disconnect between banks, who claim that there’s a lack of demand and that they can’t find enough qualified borrowers, and creditworthy business owners, who describe going from bank to bank unable to get a business loan.”

A large and growing number of predatory online lenders are profiting from this disconnect with deceptive tactics, predatory practices, misleading fees, & hidden costs.
