OUR COMPANY

We’re out to transform small business banking.

Business owners need financial services that work the way today’s small businesses work.

Our Mission

To equip every business owner with reliable access to the right capital

We believe it’s time to turn financing into fuel, empower banks to better understand and serve the small business community, and arm every entrepreneur with the access, tools, and insights they need to keep growing. By bringing together technology, data, and people, we’re building a smarter, more intuitive kind of banking.

Our Origin

On the heels of the Great Recession, a team of technologists, entrepreneurs, and finance geeks came together to find an easier way for small businesses to apply for and secure low-cost funds from banks. United in the belief that the right capital at the right time can cause any small business to thrive, the early SmartBiz team committed themselves to connect every entrepreneur with the funds they need to fortify and grow their businesses. Today, small businesses of every size and type turn to SmartBiz for reliable access to SBA, bank term, and custom financing.
