Community Advantage Loan
Community Advantage is an excellent choice when you have clients who want a loan between $50,000 and $250,000, but are just not up to bank standards. Perhaps it’s due to collateral available, low cash flow, credit history slips, debt leverage ratio that’s too high or a combination of these. Community Advantage loans enable you to keep your depository relationships and still meet your clients’ needs. CDC is not a depository institution.
The loan can be used to start or expand a business. The SBA guarantees a portion of each loan. Your clients must show their ability to repay the full loan amount and meet other guidelines to be eligible for a Community Advantage loan.
We can make Community Advantage loans throughout California, Arizona and Nevada.
