While traditional banks often see start-up and early-stage businesses as too risky, Mountain BizWorks sees them as Western North Carolina's future. Mountain BizWorks specializes in providing financing to help Western North Carolina small businesses launch and expand, by offering non-traditional loans from $1,000 to $500,000. Because all loan decisions are made locally, Mountain BizWorks is able to support your capital needs and requests with expediency, offer coaching and training support for both prospective and existing loan clients, and look past credit scores and traditional collateral to craft a loan structure that fits your business.
