When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Businesses or nonprofits with fixed-asset or community-development projects that need financing alongside a commercial lender.

What to weigh carefully

  • Service geography and program eligibility must be confirmed; New Markets Tax Credits are separate investment structures rather than a general business loan.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Which CDFI or 504 structure fits our project, and how will bank debt, subordinate debt and owner equity be coordinated?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.
