Improve your business. Improve your community.

Small business is the heart of our communities. At BankPlus, we understand that in order for our communities to grow, the small businesses within them must grow. For this reason, we are proud to offer the BusinessPlus program to help small business owners establish a more sound financial future.

What is BusinessPlus?


BusinessPlus is a loan product designed to encourage small business owners to develop a stable financial future for themselves and the communities they serve.

Who Does It Help?


The BusinessPlus program is designed to help small business owners in need of a loan to meet the needs of operating a successful business.

How Does It Help?


  • Business owners will participate in a four-hour BusinessPlus financial literacy class that will provide valuable information on running a successful business.
  • Business owners will be provided training and mentoring from BankPlus officers and BusinessPlus Partners including the Jackson State University Center for Business Development & Economic Research, The City of Jackson, Butler Snow, PLLC, Bruno & Tervalon LLP, CPA, and SBA.
  • The BusinessPlus program will help bridge the gap between small-business owners, BankPlus, SBA, and other resource providers. The BusinessPlus program will also help assist with available grants for small business owners when available.

How Does It Work?


Small-business owners that wish to participate in BusinessPlus are required to attend a four-hour BusinessPlus financial literacy class conducted through the Jackson State University Center for Business Development & Economic Research. The class will cover topics on developing a business plan, handling tax responsibilities, creating a personal financial statement, and managing personal credit history.

Financial Education


  • All borrowers are required to complete the BusinessPlus financial literacy class.
  • Upon completion of the class, small-business owners will receive a certificate of completion, which allows them to begin the BusinessPlus application process and establish a ValuePlus Business checking account.
