Because most businesses need initial capital to scale enough to survive, and too many workers live paycheck to paycheck.

Banks are too risk averse, they prefer the devil they know, and they like having a few rich people to point fingers at if the business goes sideways.
There are a few funds investing in cooperatives, but I've never looked at how they work, and that's not where most of the money is.
