Your Source for Financial Education and Small Business Loans

ACCION Chicago is a small business lender dedicated to providing financing and business education for Chicagoland's entrepreneurs. Since opening in 1994, we have disbursed over 12.5 million dollars in small business loans to over 950 locally-owned businesses.

ACCION Chicago offers loans of up to $15,000 for start-up businesses and $25,000 for established businesses. We also offer Credit Builder loans between $200 to $2,500 which may be used to purchase new equipment, expand inventory or cover an unexpected repair.

ACCION Chicago's microloan program provides an invaluable service to Chicagoland's business community.  As many of our friends and neighbors are unable to get a loan from a traditional bank, ACCION's loan program provides the working capital they need to make their businesses thrive and grow. In that way, we are all working together to make our community a more vibrant, welcoming place to do business.
