A Friendly ACCIONista, Coming to a Town Near You

November 16th, 2009 by Julie Soforenko in ACCION USA in Action, Upcoming Events

With an online small business loan application and direct lending offices in Boston, Atlanta, New York and Miami, ACCION USA makes microloans available nationwide. However, unless you live near one of these four metro areas, you can’t just drive down the street to visit your friendly neighborhood ACCIONista.

However, ACCION USA loan consultant Rachel Hynes will soon be on the road in Philadelphia and Washington, DC—two markets that we have set in our sights to grow our presence and serve more microentrepreneurs— meeting and greeting clients, potential borrowers, and community partners.

As a member of ACCION USA’s internet lending team, Rachel specializes in working with clients and partners nationwide to bring microloan services to small business owners who need them. Usually this means working with people over the phone, but for three weeks Rachel will be on the road to meet with YOU in person. She loves shaking the hand of the entrepreneurs she helps, and meeting in person with community referral partners.

Make Rachel’s Day

We know that bankers want to help their clients, but it’s not always possible to offer every entrepreneur a small business loan. You can talk with Rachel about how we can build a referral relationship with your bank to mutually benefit our companies and our clients. And we don’t only partner with banks. If you are part of an organization with a mission to help small business owners thrive then Rachel wants to meet you, too! She will speak with you about your organization’s work and how ACCION USA can offer important value add-ins for your clients. Find out why companies from Bank of America to the Small Business Administration to the Hispanic Business Exchange work with us, and why you should as well.
Rachel’s schedule is the following:

November 23-25: Washington, DC
November 30-December 4: Philadelphia
December 7-8: TBA (Philadelphia or Washington, DC)
December 9-10: Washington, DC
