Keep your business strong with the community at your side.
For the past few weeks, the coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused massive disruption to our communities, the stock market, and our daily lives.

To help deliver the working capital that businesses need, Honeycomb is offering 45-day payment free and 6-month interest-only periods. We're also streamlining our due diligence to connect businesses with local investors as quickly as possible. As always, these loans are community funded via the Honeycomb crowdfunding platform.
