- 48-hour decisions for L-2 EAD businesses throughout the United States
In 2026, the funding landscape for L-2 EAD business owners has narrowed significantly. SBA loans are blocked. Traditional banks rarely fund non-citizens. The best options are: 1) Bankable revenue-based funding ($25K-$5M, 48hr), 2) CDFI microloans (smaller amounts, longer process), 3) Business credit cards (supplemental, lower limits), and 4) Supplier financing (industry-specific). Bankable is the most accessible and scalable option for most L-2 EAD business owners.
Bankable serves L-2 EAD business owners throughout the United States with revenue-based funding from $25,000 to $5,000,000. We do not require a green card, US citizenship, or permanent residency. We evaluate your business performance — your revenue consistency, growth trajectory, and operating history. The 2022 DHS rule confirming L-2 work authorization incident to status means you are fully authorized to own and operate your business. Bankable provides the capital to do it.
