Start-Up Loan FAQ's

  Are there any local lenders in Olympia that offer start-up loans?

Startup businesses in Washington's capital city face unique financial hurdles when seeking local funding. The Olympic Peninsula's entrepreneurial spirit thrives in Olympia, where small business dreams often collide with traditional lending restrictions. Securing startup capital requires creativity and persistence in this capital city's competitive economic environment.

Here are a few local suggestions:
  • Capitol Credit Union at Capitol Way & Legion Way
  • Olympia Federal Savings Bank at4th Avenue & Washington Street
  • Summit Bank at Eastside Street & Cooper Point Road
  • First Sound Bank at State Street & Columbia Street

Startup lending looks like walking a tightrope while juggling chainsaws - blindfolded. Traditional banks demand lengthy credit histories, substantial collateral, and financial projections that would make a mathematician sweat. Some lenders might request personal guarantees that essentially ask you to sacrifice your firstborn and possibly your grandmother's secret recipe collection.

StartCap approaches startup financing differently, understanding that innovative businesses need flexible funding solutions. Our approach removes barriers typical local lenders impose, focusing on potential and passion rather than exhaustive paperwork. We recognize the entrepreneurial spirit driving Washington State's economic growth and provide tailored financial support for emerging businesses.

Note: StartCap is not associated with the above lenders in any way. Contact your local branch for the most accurate information & minimum requirements.

Interest rates for start-up business loans in Olympia, can vary widely based on the lender, loan type, and your personal credit profile. Traditional banks typically offer rates between 6% to 12% for well-qualified borrowers, though approval can be strict. SBA loans in Olympia, which are popular for new businesses, generally have rates ranging from 7% to 13%, depending on the loan program. Alternative and online lenders may have higher rates, often between 6% to 30%, as they take on more risk, offer more flexible requirements, and time to funding is much faster. Alternatively, many business & personal credit cards have introductory rates starting at 0% for up to 2 years.

No, not always—it depends on the type of loan you're applying for. Some funding options require business registration, while others focus on personal credit, income, or assets instead. If your business isn’t registered yet, don’t worry! We can either guide you through the registration process or explore funding alternatives that don’t require it.

Yes, entrepreneurs in Olympia, WA have several local grant opportunities for start-up businesses. The Economic Development Council of Thurston County offers small business support through targeted funding programs.
