CDFI offers personalized loans to fuel business growth.

CDFIs offer fair, affordable loans to people often excluded from mainstream banking. They take time to understand your situation and may also provide free support like budgeting advice or credit guidance.

How Does A CDFI
Business Lender
Work?

CDFI business lender process

CDFI business lenders take a personal, hands-on approach to your finance needs. A Relationship Manager will take time to understand your business and may consider wider benefits like job creation or investment in disadvantaged communities. They'll guide you through the process, reviewing your financial position, growth plans, and overall potential, not just your annual accounts.
