Ascendus looks at the whole picture when deciding to lend, rather than focusing solely on credit, making us more flexible than other lenders. That said, not everyone is ready to take out financing for their business.

These loans can be used for working capital, to purchase inventory, for equipment and other hard assets, for short-term business training, for promotions and advertising, to retire existing business debt, or for the purchase of an existing business.
In addition to the loan, being a non-profit lender we also provide training and education. If you’re in need of financing to start your business, contact us or apply online.
It’s great that our business can be a platform for people to be supportive and connect with each other.
The experience of working with Ascendus was awesome, particularly the excitement they showed in my progress and in my business.
I’ve had customers for 15 years, since I started out of my home. People keep coming back and many have become my good friends. I come to the store always happy.
