IT Services businesses are among the most common non-citizen-owned businesses in America. Immigrant entrepreneurs have built thriving IT services companies that serve homes, offices, and communities—creating jobs and contributing to local economies.
The March 2026 SBA citizenship rule cut these businesses off from their primary capital source overnight. SBA 7(a) loans had funded IT services business growth—equipment, vehicle fleets, working capital, and expansion—for decades. Now non-citizen owners need an alternative.
Bankable's revenue-based model is perfectly suited to IT services businesses: you have regular, documentable client revenue that demonstrates your repayment capacity without any citizenship paperwork.

| CDFIs | No | $250K | 2-4 weeks | Open, limited capacity |
| Bankable | No requirement | $5M | 48 hours | Fully open, 92% approval |
