Frequently asked questions
Is raising capital better than an SBA loan?
They solve different problems. An SBA loan is debt: you repay it monthly with interest, usually with a personal guarantee. Raising capital brings investors who share the risk — no monthly payments and no personal guarantee, in exchange for a share of the upside. Many owners raise equity precisely because they were declined for, or don't want, an SBA loan.
I was denied an SBA loan. Can I still raise capital?
Yes. Investors evaluate your deal and its potential, not just your credit profile. Fassport matches your offering with accredited investors from a 150k+ network based on sector, size, and thesis fit.
Do I need to be a fund manager to use Fassport?
No. Business owners, franchise operators, and real estate sponsors use Fassport to run Regulation D raises (506(b) and 506(c)) with investor verification, e-sign documents, and a data room included.
