Start-Up Loan FAQ's

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

Tucked among the pine-studded landscapes of central Oregon, Bend attracts entrepreneurs seeking startup business funding. Securing initial capital presents significant hurdles for new business owners, especially with traditional financial institutions requiring extensive documentation, solid credit histories, and substantial collateral.

Local lenders often demand rigorous qualification standards that can make startup loans feel like solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded. StartCap understands these financial gymnastics and provides alternative pathways, offering insights into creative financing strategies beyond conventional bank requirements.

Here are a few local suggestions:
  • Cascade Community Credit Union at Franklin Avenue & Newport Street
  • Bank of the Cascades at Bond Street & Oregon Avenue
  • First Interstate Bank at Greenwood Avenue & Third Street
  • Summit Bank at Bend River Promenade
  • Mid Oregon Credit Union at Revere Avenue
  • OnPoint Community Credit Union at Cooley Road
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 Bend, 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 Bend, 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, startup businesses in Bend, OR have several local grant opportunities. The Economic Development of Central Oregon (EDCO) offers microgrants for entrepreneurs, providing financial support ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 for qualifying small businesses within Deschutes County.

Additional funding sources include the City of Bend's Small Business Support Program and local nonprofit organizations like InventOR, which awards competitive grants to innovative Oregon-based startups.
