Some of the benefits that our loans provide are more flexible underwriting, guarantees from SBA or USDA, longer amortization periods, lower fees and longer maturities.
The mission of Arkansas Capital’s Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation is to nurture people and ideas to generate future entrepreneurs. Our annual business plan competitions are renowned among education and business leaders as one of the most real-world, entrepreneurial learning experiences students can get while in school — as early as the fifth grade and at the collegiate level.
