Our company
The AI-powered financing platform trusted by America’s entrepreneurs
We’re out to transform small business banking into something that works the way today’s small businesses work.

Our Mission
To equip every entrepreneur with reliable access to smart 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.

Our impact
A simple solution - one streamlined application for entrepreneurs to access the right capital at the right time - has evolved into the industry’s leading AI-powered platform for small business financing1. Our daily efforts show up in the world in immediate and measurable ways:
