History For 18 years, Bridgeway Capital has provided unconventional financing to entrepreneurs and other small businesses looking to grow beyond their collateral base. We provide both primary and secondary sources of financing, and often partner with a bank or other financial institution to find the best financial solution for the small business. Our financing gives all small businesses – from the start-up entrepreneur to the established business – an opportunity to grow. Started in 1990 as a housing and social service lender, Bridgeway Capital broadened its economic impact on the region by focusing on small business lending in 1994. Throughout our history, we have applied a blend of entrepreneurial vision, community knowledge and operational expertise to strengthen and help reinvent the employment base of local communities.
