Pump Up the Volume!

Today’s economic climate is slowing down (or even stopping!) business for many businesses.  But, not for MetroAction.  This year, we are experiencing a 243% increase in small business loan requests!  And, we’re ready to answer the call!  We have plenty of funding to lend and a streamlined application process that makes it as easy as 1-2-3 to apply for our loans.

A recent article in the NEPA Business Journal describes how MetroAction’s loan programs are a good fit for businesses that want to start or expand their business during a challenging economy.

More importantly, though, our loans are making a difference.  Just ask:

Paul Nardone
“I wanted to continue to evolve Outrageous and Anthology, and I knew I needed help. So I reached out to MetroAction.  The streamlined application process made it easy for me to obtain a loan to upgrade my equipment and take on new product lines.  And loans are only part of what MetroAction does. Their Small Business Institute has given me plenty of resources and insight for my business. MetroAction is a great resource!”

“MetroAction was a great help for us.  They didn’t just decline our loan request when they saw that we weren’t 100% prepared.  They took the time to help us develop our business plan so we could apply for financing.  We wouldn’t be here today with the counseling and guidance we received from MetroAction.”

“MetroAction believed in us as we believe in ourselves.  Their understanding of our needs and willingness to provide financing cannot be understated.”

You’ll never know unless you apply!
