We provide loans with lower interest rates and flexible application criteria to woman-owned businesses in the Greater Philadelphia region who have been in business for at least two years. Loans are available up to $25,000. Please review the following, then click “Get Pre-Qualified” to get started.

Pre-Approval

Most woman-owned small businesses and women entrepreneurs who have been in business, for at least two years are eligible. Businesses providing predatory financial services, illegal, or illicit services are not eligible.

Credit

We look at the borrower’s credit report. There is no credit score cut-off and we will generally look at the content of credit reports for proof of recent improvement.

Collateral is not the primary consideration of Women’s First loans. However, we will attempt to collateralize the loan to the fullest extent possible using the most responsible combination of business, personal, and third party assets available.
