Making an Impact

Small business makes up 97.6% of business in Colorado, employing over 1 million people. And the difference these small businesses are making doesn't stop there. We are truly inspired by each small business owner we get to work with and the story they have to tell. That's why we're working to make capital more accessible for the people who are changing their lives and their communities.
