The United States is often called the land of opportunity, and for millions, that opportunity comes in the form of a small business. With roughly 27 million Americans owning or running a small business, the demand for accessible financing is higher than ever. For aspiring entrepreneurs, a loan can be the perfect launchpad—and there’s no better place to secure one than a credit union like Polam FCU.
If you’re already a credit union member, you know you’re more than just a customer. This unique relationship offers distinct advantages when it comes to funding your small business. Here’s why you should turn to a credit union for your financing needs and how it can set you up for success.
Local Support That Fuels Community Growth
Credit unions are deeply rooted in the communities they serve. At Polam FCU, we pride ourselves on understanding the needs and ambitions of our members. Small businesses are vital to local economies in 2023, the U.S. Small Business Administration reported that small companies created 1.5 million jobs annually, a trend that continues to drive economic growth today. When you apply for a loan with us, we see it as an investment in both your future and the community’s prosperity. That local perspective makes us eager to say “yes” to small business loans that make a difference.
Lower Costs, Bigger Savings
Unlike traditional banks driven by shareholder profits, credit unions operate as not-for-profits owned by their members. This means we’re focused on your success, not our bottom line. At Polam FCU, the revenue we generate goes right back to you through lower interest rates on loans, minimal fees, and better overall terms. You’ll save money while building your business—money you can reinvest into your growth.
