At Ascendus, every small business we support is a powerful story of resilience, transformation, and hope. Behind every hour of coaching and every dollar of inclusive capital is an entrepreneur building a better future — not just for themselves, but for their families, communities, and industries.

🚀 Transforming Potential into Progress

In the first quarter of 2025, Ascendus collaborated with 1,773 small businesses across 43 states. Each of these businesses is not just surviving — they are innovating, adapting, and leading. Through our tailored financial coaching and customized capital solutions, these entrepreneurs are redefining success on their own terms.

1,872 hours of financial coaching were dedicated to empowering business owners — helping them navigate challenges, strengthen financial foundations, and unlock new opportunities.

Inclusive lending pathways provided essential fuel for businesses historically excluded from traditional financial systems, paving roads to resilience and long-term success.

💬 Each number is a story

Every coaching session, every loan disbursed, and every partnership formed is rooted in a deep belief: our clients are the architects of their own success. We are here not to “rescue,” but to walk alongside — providing tools, insights, and unwavering support.

Across neighborhoods, industries, and cultures, our clients are leading change:

• Opening new storefronts in local communities
• Launching innovative services online
• Creating jobs, revitalizing main streets, and mentoring the next generation

Their journeys are not defined by barriers, but by breakthroughs.

🤝 Building Higher Futures, Together

At Ascendus, impact is measured not just in numbers — but in dreams realized, goals achieved, and futures reimagined.

We are honored to be part of a community fueled by entrepreneurs who transform resilience into opportunity and economic mobility.
