Why St. Louis Businesses Choose Alternative Lending

St. Louis is one of the most historically significant economic cities in the United States and one of the most actively reinventing itself. The Gateway City's economy spans healthcare and life sciences (the largest healthcare industry in Missouri, anchored by BJC HealthCare, Mercy, SSM Health), financial services (Edward Jones, Centene Corporation), manufacturing and aerospace (Boeing Defense), and a growing technology and startup ecosystem centered on Cortex Innovation Community, one of the most active innovation districts in the Midwest.

The healthcare economy is St. Louis's most significant economic driver and most active lending market. BJC HealthCare, Mercy Health, SSM Health, and a dense network of specialty hospitals and academic medical centers make St. Louis one of the leading healthcare cities in the country. Washington University Medical School's research programs have generated substantial life sciences startup activity. Small businesses serving this healthcare ecosystem โ€” clinical staffing agencies, laboratory supply companies, healthcare IT firms, revenue cycle management businesses โ€” carry significant hospital receivables and need bridge capital while those receivables process.

The food and beverage economy reflects St. Louis's position at the confluence of American food cultures. The city's Italian Hill neighborhood, the Cherokee Street Latin food corridor, the Grove's diverse restaurant scene, and the Central West End's upscale dining have made St. Louis one of the most underrated restaurant cities in the country. Food service capital demand is active and growing as the restaurant scene continues to develop.

The Cortex Innovation Community has generated technology startup formation at rates that exceed most peer cities' innovation districts. Craft brewing, distilling, and the food manufacturing economy along the former industrial riverfront add manufacturing capital demand. FundCapa has funded St. Louis businesses from the Hill to the Grove, Clayton to Ferguson, with approval under 1 hour.

We also serve businesses in Clayton, Chesterfield, Kirkwood, Florissant, O'Fallon MO, Belleville IL, and throughout the bi-state St. Louis metro.
