Small business capital access
Connecting founders and small business owners with fair financing, because good ideas should not fail for lack of a lender who understands them.
Philadelphia civic and economic leader.
Philadelphia grows when the people who live here get to build here.
I am Amaury Abreu, a Philadelphia civic and economic leader working where capital meets community. I testify, write, and build tools on the decisions that shape whether small businesses here can start and grow, and I bring a lender's evidence to that work as a loan officer at Impact Loan Fund and an underwriter at True Access Capital.

Driven, intelligent, entrepreneurial, passionate and gracious. These are the traits that came across for me as Amaury's advisor and professor. During the tough Covid semesters, his energy and ability to incorporate coursework into his passion for Q'Hubo News LLC has been inspiring. Additionally, he has reached out to share his insights and passion with others, paying it forward as he continues to successfully balance work, family and school.

Funding help
How I help you get funded.
Tell me what you need the money for. I prepare your request, send it to the right lenders, and explain every offer in plain words.
- Preparing your loan request
- I organize your cash flow, collateral, and business story into a package lenders can evaluate quickly, especially when your business does not fit a template.
- Seeing your file the way a lender does
- My deal analysis background helps me spot weak points early so we can address them before your request goes out.
- Understanding your offers
- I help you compare rates, payments, and terms across lenders so you can choose the offer that fits your cash flow. Final terms are always set by the lender.
- Commercial real estate loans
- I help owners and investors assemble the property details, appraisal information, and projections lenders expect to see.
- Access to community lenders
- I connect borrowers with community lenders and CDFIs built to serve businesses that traditional banks often pass over.
- Matching you with the right lender
- I work with a network of lending partners, so one no does not end your search for capital.
What I do
Three ways I can help you.
01
Money for your business
I match business owners and property investors with the right lender, then stay with them until the loan closes.

A community of founders

A voice in the city
I push for rules and programs that make it easier for small businesses to start and grow.
See my civic workAbout me
Why people trust me with their loan.
I help entrepreneurs secure business and commercial real estate loans through a network of lending partners. My work as a loan officer at Impact Loan Fund and an underwriter at True Access Capital gives me a clear view of what lenders need and what makes a financing request stronger.
My community and civic work serve the same goal, in Philadelphia and wherever builders need a stronger path to capital. Through Amaury Abreu Builders Fund, which I founded, I support federal candidates who champion founders, creators, investors, operators, and small business owners. As board chair of SARCC, I help manage a $1M+ budget and housing for survivors of human trafficking.
My belief is simple: when a business owner gets a fair loan, a family builds wealth and a neighborhood gets stronger. That is the work.
Training and education: Commercial Credit Analyst certificate from the Corporate Finance Institute, the Interise executive MBA program, and a bachelor of science in digital communication and media from Millersville University. I work fully in English and Spanish.
“The right financing should help a business move, not leave the owner wondering what comes next.”
