What does investing in your next stage of growth look like?

For Sam Reed of AlphaGraphics, it wasn't just one thing.

After nearly 15 years of building his business, Sam used financing through LiftFund and the City of Irving to:

✏️Restructure business debt
✏️Add two employees to his team
✏️ Invest in equipment that expanded the company's capabilities

And the momentum is building. This summer, AlphaGraphics recorded the second-best revenue month in its history. Sam is quick to point out that growth is never the result of just one factor, but says the financing "definitely played a role."

He's also continuing to work with a LiftFund business advisor as he plans for what's next.

“Every time I meet with her, I'm able to glean a little bit more.”

Capital can help a business make its next investment. The right guidance can help an entrepreneur keep building from there.

“We are more than a store. We are a source of comfort, stability, and strength, especially in times of crisis.”

On World Pharmacists Day, we're recognizing the important role neighborhood pharmacies can play in the communities they serve.

For 100 years, Webster's Community Pharmacy has been part of Altadena. When the Eaton Fire devastated the community, many of Webster's longtime customers lost their homes. The pharmacy faced its own challenges, including a 40% loss of customers, but its commitment to Altadena never wavered.

After the community lost its post office, Webster's partnered with USPS to establish a postal counter inside the pharmacy, helping restore access to essential mail services. Its gift department also provided space for local artists and makers, including small business owners impacted by the fire who were beginning to rebuild.

Following the fires, support from a LiftFund disaster recovery grant helped Webster's invest in expanding its pharmacy capabilities and continue serving the community that has relied on it since 1926.

Today, we're celebrating pharmacists and neighborhood pharmacies that provide more than prescriptions. They provide familiarity, connection, and care. ❤️‍🩹

Small businesses play a powerful role in creating jobs, strengthening communities, and driving economic growth.

Next week, LiftFund CEO Amy Hereford will join business leaders and entrepreneurs from across the country at the 47th United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce National Conference in Fort Worth.

Under this year’s theme, “Unstoppable: Achieving Success and Powering America’s Growth,” the conference will bring together voices focused on expanding opportunity, strengthening businesses, and building pathways for continued growth.

We’re looking forward to the conversations, connections, and ideas that come from bringing so many leaders together in one place.

What do lenders actually look for?

It’s a question we hear often from entrepreneurs exploring financing.

At the Austin Small Business Connections Conference, we connected with local business owners and shared three ways to prepare:

👉 Know your numbers and understand where your business stands.
👉 Know what you need and have a clear plan for how you’ll use and repay the capital.
👉 Start talking with a lender before the need becomes urgent.

Every business is different, but financial preparedness can help you approach financing with greater confidence.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to connect with us in Austin!

At LiftFund, supporting our community starts with our people.

Through our recent Back-to-School fundraising initiative, LiftFund employees came together to raise $815 for Margil Elementary, a school located in the community surrounding our headquarters. Our team recently visited the school to present the donation and learn more about the needs facing Margil students and families, including housing instability and student homelessness.

đź’™ Thank you to every LiftFund employee who contributed, participated, and helped make this effort possible.
