Become an Economic Development Partner

When Communities Collaborate Everyone Benefits!

Small business owners lack access to capital for many reasons. When a lender declines a loan, or does not have a loan product that fits a business’s needs, the client oftentimes switches banks, gets declined again, and then may seek a predatory loan.

Together We Provide Solutions With Ethical Lending Services.

Did you know that banks are audited under the Community Reinvestment Act? The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) encourages lenders to promote the availability of credit to low-and moderate-income communities and under-served segments.
