On Thursday, Mayor Katie Wilson, City of Seattle leaders, and community partners announced plans to revamp Seattle’s Capital Access Program to help small businesses access affordable financing, offering loans of up to $350,000 at a fixed 4% interest rate through six participating community lenders. The updated program is designed to support business owners who may have faced barriers to traditional financing, providing a lower-cost alternative for expenses such as payroll, rent, utilities, and supplies while advancing the City’s broader efforts to strengthen Seattle’s small business community.
