What are the benefits of a Ready, Set, Grow! loan?

The Ready, Set, Grow! loan is designed to help entrepreneurs turn their side business or passion project into a full-time venture.

Benefits include: 

  • Flexible Loan Amounts and Terms: Borrow up to $15,000 with repayment terms of up to 48 months. Interest rates range from 15% – 19.99%, with an automatic 2% rate reduction after 12 months of on-time payments. (Kansas City small businesses automatically qualify for our lowest rate of 7.99% and are not eligible for further rate reductions.) 
  • Streamlined Application Process: We’ve made the application quicker and easier for busy entrepreneurs, with less paperwork than traditional loans. 
  • Flexibility for Start-Ups: This loan is intended for people transitioning from traditional employment or gig work to starting a small business. 
  • Community Focus: As a nonprofit lender, we reinvest our loan fees to support other small business owners.
