Start-Up Loan FAQ's

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

Launching a business in Ontario, CA requires financial fuel, and startup business loans can be tricky to secure. Traditional lenders often view new entrepreneurs with skepticism, making funding feel like trying to teach a cat to tap dance. Local financial institutions typically demand extensive documentation, perfect credit scores, and collateral that could make even seasoned business owners sweat.

Here are a few local suggestions:
  • Citizens Business Bank at Euclid Ave & Fourth Street
  • Ontario National Bank at Mountain Ave & Holt Boulevard
  • California Credit Union at Haven Ave & Fourth Street
  • First Foundation Bank at Inland Empire Boulevard
  • Torrey Pines Bank at Ontario Mills Parkway

StartCap recognizes the entrepreneurial spirit burning bright in San Bernardino County. We offer simplified startup business loans without mountains of paperwork. Our approach focuses on potential, passion, and your business vision rather than drowning you in bureaucratic red tape. Unlike traditional lenders, we celebrate innovative ideas and want to see local entrepreneurs transform their dreams into reality.

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 Ontario, 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 Ontario, 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.
