Why AOF?
We provide fast, personalized support so small business owners of all identities can thrive.
Our Impact
We are upending racial and gender inequities in the traditional financial sector, and catalyzing change so small business owners of all identities can thrive.
Our lending model
When you repay your loan, we’ll reinvest that money in other small businesses. By taking out a loan, you not only allow your own business to thrive, but you also help support other small businesses owners in your community and beyond.
What makes us different
At Accion Opportunity Fund, we do things differently. We’re here to support you, and provide you with the resources your business needs to thrive.
-
A non-profit lender
Because we don’t exist to make profit, we use the money from your repayment to support other business owners
-
Customized loans and repayment terms
No two businesses are alike, so we structure loans that work for your business, not someone else’s
-
Support for anyone, no matter your credit score
You're not just a number –– We look at more than just your credit score to determine business viability
They got back to me the very next day and said I got funded. I cried, because it felt like someone believed in me.
Staying afloat during the pandemic, I wanted to ensure that we had a future.
