LISC Small Business borrowers can now access BusinessAdvising.org’s pool of expert business advisors for free! LISC’s clients across America are the backbones of their communities and the drivers of job creation, innovation, and economic opportunity. As part of our mission to combat inequality through small business entrepreneurship and bolstering local economies, we couldn’t be more excited about this partnership!
Offering More Than Just A Check
LISC has been a community development leader in America for over thirty years: Working with local leaders to invest in housing, health, education, public safety and employment — all basic needs that must be tackled at once so that progress in one is not undermined by neglect in another.
They offer working capital loans up to $250,000 — and small business real estate loans up to $5,000,000. But as a fellow Community Development Financial Institution, they know that money alone doesn’t guarantee success.
The actual day-to-day needs of making a business grow, and making that growth sustainable, are beyond the skills of any one individual. You started a great company and made a name for yourself at farmers markets — but now that you’re ready to open a storefront, how do you find investors? Write a business plan? Develop a brand strategy? Navigate permitting?
By pairing their loans with expert mentors from BusinessAdvising.org — someone who knows their industry and has addressed the issues before — LISC can double the chances of their clients’ success.
