About FOTTAL LLC

We are more than an investment group – we are community builders, dream enablers, and partners in creating sustainable economic growth where it matters most.

Our Mission

To empower small local businesses with strategic investments and dedicated mentorship, driving sustainable growth and creating lasting economic impact within their communities.

Our Vision

A world where every entrepreneur, regardless of their background or location, has access to the resources and support needed to transform their community through successful business ventures.

Our Story

FOTTAL LLC was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: small businesses are the heart of every community. Too often, promising entrepreneurs were slipping through the cracks, too small for traditional bank loans, yet too established for typical startup accelerators.

Having witnessed firsthand the transformative power of small investments in their own neighborhoods, our founders set out to build a bridge; we focus on that crucial $10,000-or-less range, where even a modest investment can spark extraordinary change.

Today, we're proud to serve entrepreneurs across the United States, providing not just funding, but also mentorship and community support that turns business dreams into thriving realities.

Our Core Values

Community First

Every decision we make prioritizes the long-term health and growth of our communities.

Cultural Respect

We honor and celebrate the diverse cultural backgrounds of the entrepreneurs we serve.

Impact Focus

We measure success not just in profits, but in the positive change created in communities.

Transparency

We maintain open, honest communication with all our partners and stakeholders.
