Bankable referral partners are vital.
As a Bankable referral partner, that means you care about providing opportunity to small business owners who face the hurdle of securing affordable business loans from traditional sources.
Whether you’re a banker, CPA, ISBDC Adviser, SCORE Mentor, or another pivotal support role to small businesses, you have your finger on the pulse of the local business communities. We know that sometimes high interest online lenders are the most convenient option for businesses, but we want you to know that we are ready to help Indiana businesses you want to see grow and succeed without crippling them with high rates.
Bankable Referral Platform
The Bankable team is excited to offer referral partners the opportunity to create an account on our brand new Bankable Referral Platform. Referral partners can now grade a loan applicant’s likelihood of approval, submit leads, track the progress of the businesses they have referred, and receive notifications when we think the business is ready for bank financing. If you’d like to create an account to begin grading, submitting, and tracking referrals click here.
For our Bank Partners
Our mission is in our name. Our goal is to fill the financing gap for the small businesses that just aren’t quite ready for a traditional loan. Beyond financing, we offer several free technical assistance resources that are focused on building businesses that are financially literate and empowered. When the client has become Bankable, we will hand them back over to you to take over their financing needs. You don’t have to say no to a client or potential client. The business owner gets the financing and other resources they need, while we get the satisfaction of helping an Indiana business. Bankable can also help referral banks meet their CRA requirements, as roughly 38% of our loans go to businesses in low to moderate income areas.

For our Community Referral Partners
You provide priceless resources to small businesses every day. From bookkeeping services and tax strategy planning to general business advice and startup preparations. When we learn that a Bankable client is working with a CPA, ISBDC Adviser, SCORE mentor, accounting service, or another community business leader, we rest easy knowing they are in good hands. It is often your organizations who are doing the real grassroots work in each community to help businesses grow and new business ideas come to light. We rely on your knowledge, resources, and connections to help prepare business owners to take the next step into financing.
