The Growth Loan provides businesses with demonstrated momentum the capital they need to grow. The Growth Loan is a character-based loan of up to $35,000 for small business owners who lack access to capital through traditional means. There are no minimum financial collateral or credit requirements and an entrepreneur’s reputation and experience act as their collateral, and companies in business for as little as one year may apply. Loan use is flexible including working capital, website improvements, employee hires and more.

83% of businesses never raise venture capital or access traditional finance as they begin their journey. Alternative means are needed to support growth and through Render Capital, we are working with local banks to bridge established and growing businesses with traditional debt financing. Other companies may find an alternative to the traditional route of financing, such as revenue based financing, and Render Capital has partners to supply this capital as well.

Wefunder is the first, and largest crowdfunding platform since the passage of the JOBS Act and over one-third of their structured deals are non-equity – making it a great site for any entrepreneur to find capital for growth. Render’s Wefunder Match Fund will support companies in Louisville and Southern Indiana who decide to raise debt or equity investment on Wefunder. Our fund will match the first $20,000 that your company raises, helping to add momentum and support your campaign.
