Business Funding
One place to go for business funding
Asset-based financing, a line of credit, SBA loans or unsecured lending — tell us about the business once and get pointed straight at the application.
Asset-based financing
Borrowing set against equipment, stock, invoices or other business assets.
Suits: Businesses with real assets on the books that want to free up cash tied to them.
Line of credit
A revolving limit you draw from and repay as needed, rather than one lump sum.
Suits: Covering uneven cash flow, stock runs or payroll gaps between customer payments.
SBA loans
Longer-term lending partly guaranteed by the US Small Business Administration.
Suits: Established businesses planning bigger moves and happy with a longer application.
Pre-IPO readiness
Education and a checklist for companies thinking about one day going public: business plan, financial records, governance basics, and an overview of SEC and Nasdaq requirements. This is information only, not an offer of securities or funding.
Suits: Growing companies that want to prepare, with a lawyer and accountant, before approaching investors or an exchange.

Ask your local Small Business Development Center or chamber of commerce.
The SBA does not give grants to start a business. It mainly guarantees loans, so be wary of anyone advertising SBA startup grants. Never pay a service to guarantee a grant. Nothing here is a promise of funding, and this is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice.
Free masterclass to look at
Acquisition Blueprint — Small Business Acquisition Masterclass
Free live masterclass — Saturday, October 31, 2026, 11:00 AM Eastern. Limited seats; registration can close when the room is full.
A live 3-hour session on finding, evaluating, structuring and funding the purchase of an existing, already-profitable business, including deal walkthroughs and ways to raise a business's value before buying or selling. Registration asks for your first name, last name, email and phone.
This is a third-party event OsherOS is not running and is not affiliated with. Confirm the schedule, topic and who is presenting on their own page before you register. Nothing here is a promise of funding, an offer to buy or sell a business, or legal, tax or financial advice.
Grab a free seatReal estate education to look at
SubTo — subject-to and seller finance training
A paid membership community that teaches creative real estate finance: buying a property "subject to" the seller's existing mortgage, and seller financing. Members get a six-week online course, recorded trainings, live calls, contracts and calculators, plus a community and transaction support.
Suits: People who want to learn how to buy or finance property without a conventional bank loan, and who are comfortable paying for coaching and community to do it.
This is a paid third-party membership OsherOS is not running and is not affiliated with. It does not sell business funding, and OsherOS has not verified what it teaches, what members earn, or what it costs — check the current price and terms on their own page. Nothing here is a promise of income or profit. Buying property this way carries real risk, including a lender calling a loan in early. General information only, not legal, tax or financial advice.
