Breaking Barriers: 1West Launches Spanish ABLE to Empower Latino Entrepreneurs
Read this post in spanish
1West is proud to introduce the Spanish-language version of our Automated Business Lending Engine (ABLE), a major step toward making business financing faster, fairer, and more accessible for Latino entrepreneurs across the United States.
Latino-owned small businesses represent one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic segments of the U.S. economy. Today, more than 5.6 million Latino entrepreneurs are building companies that contribute nearly $900 billion to the nation’s economy.
Yet, language barriers and traditional lending systems continue to stand between many of them and the capital they need to grow. The launch of Spanish ABLE is designed to change that.
Breaking Down Barriers to Business Financing
At 1West, we understand that access to funding shouldn’t depend on language or outdated systems. Spanish ABLE brings our advanced lending technology to Hispanic business owners in their native language, providing a smoother and more transparent financing experience from start to finish.
Through the platform, entrepreneurs can:
- Apply online in Spanish and get matched with offers from over 50 lenders, often within 24 hours.
- Compare loan options side by side, with clear terms and rates displayed in real time.
- Receive personal support from bilingual funding specialists who guide them through every step.
- Access flexible funding, from $5,000 working capital loans to $20 million real estate financing, with terms built to scale with their business.
This combination of technology, transparency, and tailored support ensures that every applicant has the opportunity to secure the right funding for their goals.
Transforming Access, Not Just Translating Technology
As Kunal Bhasin, Founder and CEO of 1West, puts it: “Latino entrepreneurs are the heartbeat of Main Street growth, yet too often face barriers to capital because of language or legacy lending systems. By making our proprietary technology ABLE available in Spanish, we’re not merely translating a platform; we’re transforming access. We’re making it faster, clearer, and more human for the very businesses fueling America’s resilience.”
That’s the heart of ABLE’s mission: to make lending accessible to all entrepreneurs, regardless of background or language. The Spanish version enables more business owners to navigate their financial journey with confidence.
A Continued Commitment to Inclusion and Innovation
The Spanish ABLE launch reflects 1West’s ongoing mission to make small business financing more inclusive and transparent. It builds on years of proven success:
- $500 million+ deployed to small businesses nationwide
- 10,000+ entrepreneurs funded
- 4.9 TrustScore on Trustpilot
- Recognition on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies
From construction and retail to healthcare and technology, 1West continues to connect entrepreneurs to the capital they need to grow, innovate, and lead their communities.
