Helping to build strong communities

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy. Their success lends itself to stronger communities by creating new jobs, driving local economic growth and offering residents more options and opportunities.

As the nation’s leading small business bank, we’re proud to serve more than 6 million small businesses. Across communities, from small towns to big cities, we offer resources to help business owners overcome obstacles through mentorship, training and access to capital that can support their growth plans.

How we’re making an impact

Helping business owners achieve their goals and strengthen their communities through our ecosystem of tools and resources. 

Providing Capital Options at Every Stage of Growth

Beginning with checking, savings and credit cards, the firm grows with the business to include wire transfers, digital payments, deposit products, payment acceptance, lending and cash management services.

Making Entrepreneurial Connections

We can make connections to expertise and guidance that can help overcome obstacles. The firm has hired dozens of local senior small business consultants to provide one-on-one coaching to entrepreneurs, host educational events and community workshops as well as lead business training seminars.

Promoting Access to Customers and Networks That Create Growth

One of the most impactful ways to help businesses thrive is by increasing opportunities to participate in procurement. The firm supports policies that encourage participation in government contracting. We also provide supplier readiness grants that help businesses evolve their customer base.

Small Business Makes the ‘Great Outdoors’ More Accessible

An entrepreneur takes her accessible outdoor terrain mats and, with support from JPMorgan Chase, empowers people in wheelchairs with the freedom to experience the beach independently.

VO: We never just see the numbers. We see the people.

Kelly: My mom had a disability...and I began to see the world as inaccessible...When I first started the company I was really excited to empower people of all abilities.

Beto: I truly believed that I wasn't going to be able to surf again. Being able to get back in the ocean is a blessing using the mats.

Kelly: You’ve made something that other people find invaluable. It fuels you to keep thinking bigger...keep making a better impact with your business.

Beto: I don’t have to think about the pathway to the ocean, I just know I’m going to be able to surf again. It’s huge to open up opportunities for everybody out there to reach their full potential.

VO: That’s why we’re here to help make it happen. JPMorgan Chase.
