About Ivonete

When Ivonete Souza founded Equity Business Credit in 2020, it was built on a firsthand observation: across Massachusetts, exceptional small business owners—from restaurant operators and general contractors to automotive specialists—were consistently being turned away by commercial banks, not because their businesses weren't profitable, but because their corporate entities were never structured for institutional underwriting.

Having seen countless entrepreneurs max out personal credit cards and place personal assets at risk to fund company overhead, Ivonete set out to create a boutique advisory practice that demystifies commercial finance.

Rather than treating funding like a high-volume numbers game, Ivonete takes a personalized, white-glove approach with every client file. She works directly with business owners to audit entity compliance, build credible Tier-1 corporate trade lines reporting to Dun & Bradstreet, Experian Business, and Equifax, and position their businesses to secure five- and six-figure funding facilities completely independent of personal credit.

Under her guidance, Equity Business Credit has helped local businesses secure essential working capital, upgrade equipment, and unlock 0% interest corporate lines—building long-term commercial financial health from the ground up.
