Healthy Smart Mart introduced Capital Access Program aimed at lowering financial barriers for entrepreneurs interested in opening micro markets, according to a press release.

The initiative offers a technology-driven platform where applicants can view multiple pre-qualified funding options within minutes, without affecting their credit score. The program is designed to cover startup expenses such as kiosks, coolers, shelving and inventory —costs that often keep prospective operators from entering the growing workplace convenience sector.

"By streamlining access to capital, we're making it possible for more people to turn their business aspirations into reality," Bill Way, CEO of Healthy Smart Mart, said in the release.

Company officials said the program simplifies what is typically a lengthy, paperwork-heavy process with banks and connects applicants directly to financial partners suited for micro market ventures.

Healthy Smart Mart provides entrepreneurs with a business model focused on transforming traditional break rooms into self-service convenience stores. The company also offers training, equipment and ongoing support for new operators.
