As the nation’s leading non-profit SBA lender, we have leveraged the expertise of our staff and our relationships with over 50 lending partners to create several loan programs designed to make credit available to entrepreneurs that cannot qualify under conventional banking criteria.

CDC has been providing small businesses with financing for over 25 years and has earned a stellar reputation. As a non-profit organization, we strongly believe in “giving back” to the communities we serve. Our Community Loan Programs offer financing to emerging businesses, preparing them for growth and expansion and ultimately strengthen our local economy by creating new jobs.

We achieve this by working with lenders to create specialized lending pools; arranging loan guarantees; providing applicants with intensive loan packaging and technical assistance; and/or contributing our own funds to create a bevy of loan programs designed to give qualified entrepreneurs the boost they need to “grow” their business into a “bankable” one within a short time.
