What is the purpose of Arkansas Capital Corporation?

The SBA does not lend money. Instead, it provides guarantees so lenders are more inclined to lend money to small business owners.

Small business owners should establish a line of credit with immediate access - especially for small businesses with payroll employees.

Aspiring entrepreneurs are encouraged to spend time with entrepreneurs who are already operating a successful business in your area of interest to gain valuable insights.

Small business owners should always know how much money they need before speaking with a lender. #SHMS, #STRAW
