After going bankrupt and losing everything, entrepreneur Elgin Edwards vowed to make it to the top so that others like him would have easier access to capital.
Access Funding Partners was founded by Elgin Edwards in Atlanta in 2019 with the purpose of partnering with the community to help them acquire access to funding and build their business footprint in the industry by increasing business credit application approvals and business funding possibilities. True to its name, “Access Funding Partners” encapsulates the company’s reason for existence.
“I came to the realization that the biggest stumbling block for most entrepreneurs, including myself, was access to funding. With less than two percent of the nation’s 69 trillion in funding in the hands of black entrepreneurs like myself, I’ve made it my mission to create as much access to capital as possible, one client at a time, and create systematic change within the industry,” Elgin shared.
The company provides a systematic program and online platform to help business owners advance their careers and get the financial resources they need. With its proven step-by-step approach, they offer business owners a program that will help them prepare their companies to be legally recognized by authorities. In addition, applications for credit lines are simplified by the incorporation of a strategic vendor list and the requirement that just the business’s EIN be used as a reference.
Access Funding Partners‘ systematic program is backed by Elgin, who studied industry trends, bank requirements, and financing sources carefully to establish the efficacy of the company’s approach. In fact, Elgin even made it a point to build his own company credit firsthand.
Access Funding Partners offers the best Business Credit Building program available anywhere. For the first three months of 2022, it has secured a growth rate of 70.66%. Its starting point is unparalleled, making it possible to expand rapidly and weather financial storms. The company aspires to be the channel through which its industry achieves increased revenue and increased market share year after year. Elgin set out to improve the industry by improving the availability of credit for black company owners, one client at a time.
Elgin anticipates that in the next five years, Access Funding Partners will build stronger and more extensive ties with lenders, customers, investors, grant staff, and government agencies in Atlanta, facilitating more mergers, acquisitions, and government contracts. It also sets itself on a mission to help minority-owned firms gain the financial backing and other resources they need to expand internationally and compete successfully. Already taking steps to achieve this goal, the company has already developed many new digital tools to assist business owners in meeting this need. From laying the groundwork for one company through its “$150,000 in 90 days” program to establishing a merchant account to accept debit and credit cards for invoicing and payments, Access Funding Partners has every business covered.
Access Funding Partners opens its doors to anyone who needs funding to build their businesses, whether a startup company or an entrepreneur with a bright idea.
