J. Galt Finance aims to do their part to aid the progress of SDGs' # 4,8,9,10 by creating equitable access to financial education and availability to small businesses. The current CEO and President brainstormed about SAS companies in the financial sector and how they can utilize their resources to help small businesses. One of the key barriers to entry they found for small businesses receiving financial assistance was the disconnect between a bank or firm and the business itself. Traditional banks and lenders seemed intimidating and unwilling to work in the best interest of small businesses. The gap between the consumer and the firm discouraged small businesses from even starting their financial aid journey and J. Galt utilized its innovation in business and personal relations to bridge that gap and increase accessibility.
J. Galt also found that acquiring financial assistance seemed daunting to smaller businesses as traditional banks imposed too much assumption of risk and not enough education. Oftentimes, the process seems too daunting or unattainable to manage and maneuver. Their company policy of closely working in tandem with the businesses and adjusting to their specific needs creates a trusting relationship through transparency, education, and innovation. This not only builds J. Galt's business but also creates equitable opportunities for the companies they work with as well. J. Galt is utilizing financial and technological innovation to increase financial education and opportunities to help small businesses succeed.
