Start-Up Loan FAQ's

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

Tucked between the lush Willamette Valley and the Cascade Mountains, Eugene entrepreneurs discover startup financing isn't for the faint of heart. Traditional local lenders often scrutinize new businesses with microscopic expectations, making securing initial capital feel like wrestling a slippery salmon upstream.

Here are a few local suggestions:
  • Oregon Community Credit Union at 8th & Olive Street
  • First Technology Federal Credit Union at Pearl & Broadway
  • OnPoint Community Credit Union at Willamette & 13th
  • Lane Community Credit Union at Highway 99
  • Summit Bank at 5th & Oakway

StartCap knows startup funding requires creativity beyond standard bank requirements. Typical documentation includes personal credit scores, collateral, basic business projections, and demonstrating industry knowledge. Our approach considers potential over paperwork, offering flexible solutions that traditional institutions might overlook.

Did you hear about the entrepreneur who tried getting a loan with only enthusiasm? Spoiler alert: banks don't accept dreams as currency! Seriously though, local startups need realistic financial strategies that transform passionate ideas into fundable business concepts.

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 Eugene, 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 Eugene, 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.
