Small businesses make neighborhoods delightfully unique.
Our mission is to help you thrive by keeping more money in the local economy.
We’re small business owners.
We get it: tech companies, payment processors, and big banks don’t always design for our needs. So we built Backyard to achieve 3 goals for folks like us:
#1: Put more money from every sale into your pocket.
#2: Grow sales by incentivizing the neighbors to shop local.
#3: Create access to affordable capital so that you can survive the tough times and thrive for a lifetime.
How can my small business use Backyard?
Process payments for 1.5% flat.
Backyard’s platform enables your business to collect payment from customers with an ACH transfer instead of a credit card swipe. Remember the good ol’ days of cash payments? It’s like that, but better.
You won’t need to replace your existing point of sale, and you can still accept credit card payments too. We work with Square, Toast, and others.
Offer a loyalty program that actually works — and doesn’t cost an arm & leg.
Backyard helps your business team up with other shops to offer a single community loyalty program. We reward shoppers for making purchases in the neighborhood. Your business chips in 1% when you make a sale.
When we all work together, we each get a lot more in return.
List your business on Backyard.
Backyard features your business alongside other neighborhood gems in our app. We’ll help you get discovered by our community of high-value local shoppers. You’ll keep them coming back again and again.
Here’s the best part: listing your business on Backyard is free.
Take out a no-hassle small business loan.
Coming soon, Backyard provides small business loans to help you fund inventory, supplies, wages, expansions, and just about anything that keeps the lights on. We’re tapping into a new source of capital: your neighbors.
We strive to offer lower APRs than online lenders, fast approval, and quick deposits straight to your bank account.
