- Connecticut AOS business owners lost SBA access March 1, 2026 — Bankable provides the private alternative
Connecticut AOS business owners have built real enterprises while waiting for a green card that may be years away. Whether you came through an H-1B, a family petition, or another path, your Employment Authorization Document gives you full work authorization — and Bankable gives you access to the capital your business needs to grow. The March 2026 SBA closure removed a critical option for Connecticut AOS entrepreneurs. Bankable replaces it with revenue-based funding that moves in 48 hours.
Who Bankable Serves in Connecticut
Any Connecticut AOS holder with a valid EAD and a business generating at least $25K in average monthly revenue qualifies for evaluation. Bankable funds businesses across financial consulting, healthcare, technology, restaurants, and professional services. Your specific AOS pathway does not affect your eligibility. Your business revenue does.
