We built the database and nonprofits provide the services
ChatBiz has aggregated over 600 resources nationally and helps you find what you qualify for.
In one click we connect you to the nonprofits, government programs, and organizations that provide specialty support for small businesses.
How the database works:
Search and filter through 600+ resources based on your business profile. Find programs that match your stage, location, industry, and needs.
What happens when you find a resource:
We connect you to the resource provider in one click and automatically pass the information we collected about your business to accelerate the application process (always with your permission). From there, they evaluate your eligibility and provide the service.
Why we built this:
We'll tell you when a loan isn't the right move. But 'no' shouldn't mean 'good luck figuring it out yourself.' This database gives you actual next steps, not just a rejection.
Built by nonprofit operators and lenders who care about small business outcomes
We built this resource to support founders at every stage. Whether you're seeking capital, training, or strategic guidance, you'll find vetted options here.
