Oregon's wider economy runs on semiconductors, athletic apparel and food production, and Downtown Portland feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies in Portland qualify alongside established ones.

Everything is handled online and by phone — there's no branch to visit in Downtown Portland, and no requirement to pledge real estate. Facilities run from $25,000 to $25 million and grow as your invoicing grows.
