Become a Small Business Investor

Honeycomb Credit is a first-of-its-kind community investment platform. You can earn up to 15.25%* by investing in locally-owned businesses around the country.

Over $30 million has been invested by thousands of local investors, and over $8.5 million repaid back to investors like you.

* This statement assumes the offering is successful, securities are sold, and repays as expected through maturity. This is a financial investment and there is no guarantee of a return; small business lending is risky and investors could lose part or all of their investment.

“We saw Honeycomb as a great opportunity to both help small businesses…while also growing our initial investment. We felt this was a win-win, where the money could both grow and do some good instead of just sitting in a bank account.” *

Invest in your community.

The money you invest in a Honeycomb campaign goes to the small business owner.

They use it to sign a lease, purchase new equipment, hire staff or fund many kinds of growth projects. Then they repay the money and interest rate back to you.

 

The interest goes back to the community (you), rather than a bank.

Harvie Farms 
Honeycomb Story

Harvie Farms had so much success with their first Honeycomb campaign, that they ran two more!

 

Harvie's owner and CEO, Simon Huntley, ran a Honeycomb campaign to expand his business. He saw the value in tapping his community for investments, rather than a traditional bank.

 

"Investments from our community are deeply meaningful to me as they represent not only financial support but also a vote of confidence in our mission to build a strong local food economy. They demonstrate the shared belief and commitment to creating a sustainable future, fostering community resilience, and making a positive impact on the well-being of both our region and the environment." - Simon Huntley, CEO and owner of Harvie.
