ACE Business Advisory Services
This is a value added service provided for clients who have a loan with ACE.Program Mission
ACE distinguishes itself from other lenders with its post-loan Business Advisory Services (BAS). This service is specifically designed to assist and support loan clients to strengthen their operations, achieve growth, and improve organizational sustainability by delivering up-to-date counseling, training, and technical assistance in all aspects of small business management with an emphasis on strengthening their financial acumen.
This assistance consists of one-on-one coaching and mentoring as well as self-guided online learning on topics including finance, COVID19 pivot strategies, marketing, management, accounting, credit building and more. The services aid clients in expanding rainy day strategies, pivoting business models, or scaling up new models of operations to meet customer needs, respond to a shock, or maintain/generate jobs and revenue.
We achieve this by building a strong relationship with our borrowers, understanding their goals, assessing their needs and strengths; and matching those borrowers to our team of internal Financial Advisors who are experienced subject matter experts that provide high quality consulting and training. Obtaining counseling early on can be the determining factor that helps businesses reach success and grow to scale.
