The 865 Opportunity Fund
The 865 Opportunity Fund is a $6 million loan fund serving small businesses in the region, including Knox County and Anderson, Blount, Grainger, Jefferson, Loudon, Roane, Sevier, and Union Counties.
Pathway and partners created the fund to improve access to capital for area small businesses, particularly those led by minority or woman business owners. The fund focuses on loans of $5,000 to $50,000.
Lets Talk
Pathway quickly became the business partner I needed. Since day one they’ve been there; not just with the money I needed, but with hands-on help with my accounting systems. When so many others didn’t, Pathway believed in me."

Empowering Diverse Entrepreneurs
We specialize in working with minority, women, veteran, rural and low-income small business borrowers. Often, our clients are first-time borrowers who don’t have a lending relationship, have been declined for a loan or seek more capital than they might be able to secure at another institution.
Our clients choose Pathway because we partner with them to help their businesses succeed. Your opportunity is our mission.
