One of their main challenges is connecting entrepreneurs with the fast, reliable capital they need to reach their full potential. However, relying on independent funders for financing may not always be the best solution.

As a small business owner, you know how critical funding is to your company’s survival and growth. But securing a loan from a traditional bank? That’s easier said than done.
