Uptrend Business announced its official opening with a comprehensive series of financial tools and services intended to help new SMBs and entrepreneurs. Uptrend Business helps propel enterprises into lasting success by offering business credit, business formation, 360-degree bookkeeping and accounting, funding programs, business tax preparation and payroll assistance. Partnering with four reputable and trusted financial companies, Uptrend Business is fully empowered to help companies develop growth strategies that work, in addition to funding those efforts.

“Credit building and credit repair are difficult in the best of times,” Wesley Paul, founder of Uptrend Business, said. “But it’s especially tough when whole economies are in shambles and customers are scarce. We’re still deep in the weeds of this ongoing pandemic and companies continue to struggle. Most big banks have closed ranks, increased the number of loan qualifiers and credit score requirements, and are more reticent than ever to help new businesses out – especially in underserved communities. That’s why our commitment to minority and underserved business owners has never been more important.”

Uptrend Business has already helped thousands of business owners, independent contractors, and non-profits secure critical PPP loans during the pandemic. And Uptrend Business has positively impacted the lives of hundreds of other entrepreneurs and independent contractors in need by releasing over $9 million in loans to date, assisting over 400 applicants.

Uptrend Business understands the struggle that small businesses undergo and aims to help by offering fresh ideas and renewed momentum. Education is key, and that is why Uptrend Business provides a wealth of information to entrepreneurs about starting a business, getting access to capital, understanding personal taxes, protecting against legal risks such as bankruptcy or scams, and other topics crucial to running a successful enterprise.
