Aspire Community Capital
Our mission is to empower underserved entrepreneurs by providing education and equitable access to financial products and business resources that transform communities. Our programs guide current and aspiring business owners through development services, including assessments, training courses, coaching, and access to financial resources such as our in-house micro-loans.
Our classes equip participants with the knowledge and skills to become prudent business owners. Through subsequent coaching, workshops, and support services, we expand their understanding of their business model's financial health and long-term viability. We prepare program participants who are best positioned to become potential borrowers to manage the loan qualification process and effectively handle funds received from their prospective lenders.
ASPIRE’s vision is to create a robust and supportive regional business ecosystem that maximizes the potential of every entrepreneur.
