LITTLE ROCK, ARK. (April 14, 2025) — Arkansas Capital Corporation (ACC) is changing its name to ACC Capital, effective April 14, 2025. The new name reflects the growth of the organization’s client base and product and service offerings to small businesses nationwide.
“Our new company name signifies a need for change to reflect our national lending footprint, while giving a nod to our extensive history in Arkansas” said Sam Walls III, Chief Executive Officer. “Our Board of Directors and corporate team are excited about the opportunities that will come from our new name that symbolizes the organization’s future direction.”
ACC gained its reputation in the late 1950s as a provider of flexible capital solutions to meet the unique needs of entrepreneurs, small businesses, and economic and community development in Arkansas. In 2023, the nonprofit CDFI was one of three organizations to receive a Small Business Lending Company (SBLC) license from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the first license awarded in nearly forty years.
With the SBLC license, ACC Capital initially launched its small business lending products and services in the southeastern United States. The organization’s name now speaks to its vision of expanding its support to entrepreneurs nationally.
