Honeycomb Credit unlocks growth opportunities for small businesses to build vibrant and financially empowered communities. It allows great local businesses to source expansion loans from their own loyal customers and the Honeycomb network of investors. Businesses get access to fair credit, while investors can now invest locally while supporting their favorite small businesses.
As a sixth-generation community banker, CEO of Honeycomb George Cook grew up in Western Pennsylvania and saw firsthand how the disappearance of community banks was limiting small business owners from getting the loans they needed to make their businesses thrive. In Kansas City, co-founder Ken Martin was struggling to get capital for his juice shop, despite his financial background. George and Ken put their heads together—and Honeycomb Credit was born.Today, Honeycomb is a team of small business owners, finance professionals, bloggers, and food enthusiasts. What connects their diverse interests are a shared passion for community and a strong belief in the power of Main Street.
