About Accion Opportunity Fund
Accion Opportunity Fund is a nonprofit lender. Because they don’t exist to make a profit, they use the money from your repayment to support other business owners. And because no two businesses are alike, they structure loans for an individual business.
Helping uplift growing businesses
“The shift to remote work created a new space for us, as an IT company, to help other businesses work safely. Now, that’s materializing into more business opportunities. As we keep scaling, this loan will help us make a key hire.”
—William Ford
Founder and CEO, K Systems Solutions
