Business Impact NW is a nonprofit financial institution that operates as a certified, rated, and regulated Community Development Financial Institution, focused on serving underbanked entrepreneurs. It provides coaching, classes, and access to capital for community small businesses, with an emphasis on socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in the financial and business sectors, while its services are open to all. Founded in 1997, the organization began as the Seattle Economic Development Fund and was previously known as Community Capital Development; it is based in Tukwila, Washington, and is not a U.S. or state government agency.

Its reach extends across Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of growth. Because of its community impact mission, its lending guidelines are more flexible than those of typical banks, while decisions remain careful and measured. In April 2025, it announced a partnership with the Seattle office of the Small Business Administration to host a free event for area business leaders.
