Small businesses need a funding ally.
FundBoss is a membership service provided by GTB Advisors focused on simplifying the fundraising journey for small business owners. Since the 2008 financial crisis, most small businesses have struggled to secure crucial capital required to keep their companies running and growing. The COVID-19 crisis and its aftermath have only intensified the access-to-capital problem.
78% of small business owners are concerned about their ability to access capital required for growth and operations.
There are many reasons why small enterprises fail to access capital. The most common include not having the right social networks, lack of knowledge about appropriate funding sources, or belonging to a demographic that has routinely struggled with economic exclusion
A survey by Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses showed that 78% of small business owners are concerned about their ability to access capital, while 85% say that funding issues have a direct impact on their ability to grow.
Diverse-owned businesses in particular face specific challenges. Forty-three percent of Black business owners have applied for funding in the past year, but only 26% report receiving what they needed (compared to 51% of White small business owners).
Fifty-four percent of LatinX, 56% of Asian-Pacific Islander, and 51% of Native American business owners opted not to pursue funding at all out of fear that they would be denied. Meanwhile, woman-owned businesses account for 40% all businesses in the U.S. but receive well under 10% of available funding.
FundBoss streamlines the small business funding process making it faster and fairer.
Fundraising is time consuming, and without the proper strategy, often ends in failure. FundBoss can help shorten the runway to receiving vital capital that will allow more small businesses to grow and thrive.
