Forward Financing

08/06/2026

Forward Financing just hit a big one: we've officially provided capital to more than 100,000 small businesses across America. Behind that number are 100,000 real people — the shop owners, contractors, restaurateurs, and family businesses who keep their doors open, make payroll, and grow on their own terms. We're proud to have said "yes" when it mattered, and prouder still to be part of what they built. While this milestone may be ours, it's made up of their vision, passion, and drive.

To every business owner who's let us be part of the journey: thank you. Here's to the next 100,000 🥂

And keep your eyes on this feed next week — we've got something fun planned to celebrate this one properly 👀

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Palooza Week 🎉

Four times a year, Forward Financing brings the entire team together to connect, celebrate, and recharge — first in the DR last month, and now in the US this week.

The locations may be different, but the reason is the same: getting our mostly-remote team in one room, together, on purpose.

Last year at Palooza, a new theme for Forward was unveiled: Level Up ⬆️. This week, we take stock of what that actually meant — how we levelled up for our customers, partners, business, teams, and each other. Then we look at what's next.

Stay tuned for a look into the events, fun, and a few surprises coming this week 🤭

Today, we're announcing $525 million in new financing, the largest in Forward’s history and a turning point in how many small businesses we can fund.

This backing from serious institutional investors is a genuine vote of confidence in the business we run and the businesses we fund. Together with our December 2025 debut securitization, it brings Forward's total committed funding capacity to nearly $700 million.

Since 2012, we've put more than $5 billion of capital to work for almost 100,000 small businesses across America. This financing enables us to continue supporting more entrepreneurs, powering more communities, in more places.

Thank you to the investors who backed us, and to the team and partners who built the track record they invested in. And most of all, thank you to the business owners who let us play a part in their vision — you're the reason any of this matters. Upward, onward, and Forward ➡️

Turns out 13 climbs up a Utah mountain in 33 hours is a pretty good way to raise money for a good cause ⛰️

That's what our CEO Jason Mullins did this June, taking on enough vertical feet to match Mount Everest (that's 29,031 if you're counting), all in support of Junior Achievement Utah, part of Junior Achievement USA.

JA teaches young people financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship, the same kind of groundwork we see small business owners build on every day. It's personal too: Forward Financing has an office in Utah, and this felt like a great way to say hello to the neighborhood.

The whole Forward Financing team wanted in on the action (but maybe not the climb 😅). Together, with a company match, we raised $21,916 — $16,916 went to the Utah chapter, plus $5,000 Jason kicked in directly to JA of Canada.

Best of all, last week our leadership team flew out to Salt Lake City to hand-deliver the check in person (and take what might be our most enthusiastic group photo yet).

Congrats to Jason on the climb, and thank you to JA for the work you do giving young people the skills and confidence to build their futures ➡️

For all the cups of coffee gone cold, notes written in the margins, late nights that turned into early mornings, and the invisible hours spent building something only you could see at the time.

Here’s to the ones keeping the doors open and the vision alive 🎇

The banks saw a roadblock. We saw a path Forward.

When a Central Texas builder faced stalled project timelines due to rigid lending tape, their hard-earned reputation was put to the test.

They needed a partner that could move as fast as their crew on the ground.

We stepped in to bridge the gap, getting them the immediate working capital required to lock down materials and secure their contracts.

Fast forward to today: that initial breakthrough has grown into a strategic partnership spanning 11+ rounds of funding totaling over $1.6M.

You can’t pour from an empty cup. ☕️

May is , but at Forward, well-being isn't a seasonal trend. We know that to show up for our small business customers, we have to show up for ourselves first.

Our employee benefits range from a flexible stipend for hobbies that help our team recharge to free Headspace subscriptions for daily mindfulness. Our approach to health is holistic, ensuring everyone has the support they need to stay balanced and refreshed.
