ACE Raises $7.31 Million to Support Underserved Entrepreneurs and Communities

We are thrilled to announce that ACE | Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs has successfully raised $7,310,000 in new funding to advance our mission of supporting underserved communities in Georgia. As a nonprofit community lender, ACE has been dedicated to providing crucial financial resources and business development support to low-income, minority, and women entrepreneurs since our inception in 2000. With this new funding, we will enhance our ability to create sustainable businesses that generate jobs and foster economic development in communities that often face barriers to accessing traditional financing. Over the past two decades, ACE has disbursed more than $200 million in loans to over 2,600 businesses, directly contributing to the creation and preservation of more than 21,000 jobs across the state. This latest infusion of capital will allow us to expand our personalized underwriting services, offer more flexible terms, and strengthen our ongoing business advisory assistance. Our commitment goes beyond financial support; we also implement “green” programs, enabling our borrowers to operate sustainably and explore new market opportunities. Recognized as a leader in innovative small business financing, ACE proudly serves 100 counties throughout Georgia, including metro Atlanta, north Georgia, the Savannah region, and most recently, south Georgia.
