CDC Small Business Finance Makes a Difference….
…One Job
…One Small Business
…One Community
At A Time
As a non-profit organization committed to economic development, we have provided access to more than $8 billion in loans to over 7,000 small businesses during the past 34 years. The end result? Prosperity… leading to the creation and retention of more than 100,000 jobs in California, Arizona and Nevada. We have received numerous honors as the nation’s largest CDC, for offering an array of innovative loan programs and continuously reinvesting in our communities.
Our flagship product is the SBA-504 loan program which provides small business owners with necessary financing to establish business equity through building ownership. With a minimum down payment, low interest rates and long term amortizations – this program effectively leverages bank capital with government bond financing to help small businesses grow. Loans for this program range in size from $100,000 to $8 million.
We deliver many other loan programs for small businesses that want to expand their businesses, with an emphasis on assisting women and minority owned companies as well as companies located in low-to-moderate income areas.
Our Community Advantage loan program provides up to $250,000 in small business financing while other programs lend as little as $10,000. We take pride in the wide scope of services available for businesses of all sizes.
