Using a suite of tools, we can help your business leverage private investments and public funds to grow your company and create more opportunities in an underserved community.
Here’s why our program is the best for entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to grow:

Our default setting is to explore all possible options for your business problem. We specialize in finding solutions no matter how out-of-the-box they might seem.

We connect you with the right people and set up collaborative partnerships for your business through our Community Development Program.

We are committed to cultivating entrepreneurship in Arkansas. Our services include nurturing new businesses at the start of the ecosystem and teaching core principles so you can know how to run a successful business for the long term.

Through our Community Development Mentorship, we provide a safe space for women and veterans to learn the basics of the business world, acquire technical expertise, ask questions, secure large investments, and realize their dreams of running thriving businesses under the wings of seasoned business owners.

Our goal is to strengthen communities by supporting businesses. We offer more than just financial help. When your business stands on its feet, you create more jobs and improve the local economy.

Our program is focused on community development projects. Along with an array of traditional loan products, we offer programs that increase rural access to business capital, predominantly for small businesses.
You don’t have to be strapped with debt to run a business. Unlike traditional banks and lenders, we’re here to empower you and we’re ready to go the distance.
Let’s Connect You to the Resources You Need

Most business owners who come to us have been told ‘no’ by banks for one reason or another.
They also don’t know how to take advantage of the various schemes and grants, such as USDA, NMTC, 504, 7(a) SBA, and ACC’s Heartland Renaissance Fund, available for businesses like theirs.
They end up declaring bankruptcy or closing shop because of it. If you don’t want that, then you should join our Community Development Program.
With our innovative approach, we help you secure funds and learn the basics of what you need for getting your businesses off the ground or expanding operations.
The longer you wait, the more debt you’ll incur.
If you’re stuck in financial quicksand and struggling with business growth, then contact us because we have a decades-long history of helping businesses get out of tough situations and flourish under unimaginable circumstances.

You’re not out of options yet. Join us to find some real solutions.
