FAQ

To apply, you’ll need basic information about yourself and your business. It can be helpful to have last year’s financial information and a recent bank statement at hand. Documentation may be requested later based on the information you provide. This could include:

  • Bank statements or Plaid enrollment
  • Business tax returns
  • Voided check from your primary bank account

We aim to keep the process simple and transparent.

After approval and before funding, we require personal tax returns as part of reporting requirements as a Community Development Financial Institution. Personal tax returns are not used to determine loan eligibility.

For Food Truck Financing: You will start by contacting our partnership manager, Gerardo Campos. He will work with you step by step through the process.

For the Small Business Term Loan: Complete the first step of the application by answering a few questions, and we’ll give you a quote in just 15 minutes without impacting your credit score. Once offers are presented, you will be able to choose which option works best for you. Offers will have different term lengths, monthly repayment options, and interest rates.

At Accion Opportunity Fund, we pride ourselves in going above and beyond for small business owners. We will take into consideration the amount you’ve asked for in your application and, if possible, try to fund the full amount. If we’re unable to do so, we will let you know how much we are able to offer and the available repayment terms. As a general guideline, loan amounts typically do not surpass 20% of the business’s annual revenue.

Unlike many traditional lenders, AOF focuses on affordable lending and flexibility. We offer transparent terms, faster approvals, no hidden fees, and personalized support for underserved entrepreneurs helping small businesses access the capital they need to drive.
