Investing in Small Business Development, Growth and Innovation
Access to capital can be a significant hurdle for small business to overcome. At First Horizon Bank, our goal is to help businesses bridge financing gaps. First Horizon Bank contributed a $500,000 investment to provide access to capital for start-ups and small businesses.
The company partnered with Chattanooga-based BrightBridge, Inc., whose mission is to reduce barriers to business growth by customizing loan packages and advisory services. The organization also increases employment opportunities and fosters the expansion of business and industry in Tennessee and surrounding states.
A broad range of businesses have launched or expanded through the program including clothing boutiques, food trucks, a gym and a food distribution center.
“BrightBridge aims to accelerate start-up and business growth,” said Bill Pollard, BrightBridge chief operating officer. “The $500,000 commitment from First Horizon Bank will open even more doors for start-up and small businesses in the region. First Horizon Bank understands and values the opportunities small business provides to our communities. Their investment allows us to do the work that will have long-term positive impacts in our community.”
