Banks

Refer clients and participate in the Small Business Loan Guarantee Program. 

As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we are a non-traditional lender. We work alongside traditional banking institutions to accomplish our mission of connecting entrepreneurs with the financing they need to start and grow their businesses. 

Why refer clients?

We know that for most business owners in need of financing, applying through a bank is their first course of action – even if they are not a perfect fit for a traditional business loan. That’s why our doors are open for referrals: if you’re a lender who hates turning away ambitious entrepreneurs who don’t meet your lending criteria or whose needs don’t match your products, please get in touch. We can either fulfill their financing needs or match them with services to get loan-ready. Contact our Business Development Officer, Brian Zscheile, to learn more.

How banks can participate in the Small Business Loan Guarantee Program.

The SBLGP is operated by the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank through their Small Business Finance Center. As a Financial Development Corporation, we administer the program across the state. We work with participating banks and other lending institutions to provide guarantees on loans of up to 80% of the loan amount, not exceeding $5 million. Guarantees last up to seven years. Contact Lydia Looknanan, Director of the Loan Guarantee Program to learn how your bank can participate.

Municipalities & Government Agencies

Work with us to meet the unique needs of your constituents. 

We have worked with offices at various levels of government to create business incubator training programs, specialized business counseling, and loan funds that serve businesses in specific areas. If you have an idea for a service that would benefit your entrepreneur constituents, we will bring the expertise and develop an offering to fit your unique needs. We also offer market research and data mapping services that can help you understand the realities of business ownership in your area.

Build a custom loan product for your city or county.

Our Lending Center has partnered with the City of Lodi to administer a revolving loan fund for businesses based in their city limits. With funds provided by the city, loans of up to $50,000 are available to Lodi-based businesses with 10 or fewer employees, with a 5% fixed interest rate. As loans are paid back by borrowers, the funds are lent out again to new clients to keep the program operating sustainably. Along with administering the funds and underwriting, we provide outreach, application assistance, and continuing business counseling to borrowers. If you are interested in developing a similar program to serve the unique entrepreneurs in your county or city, please contact Tim Stanley, our Director of Lending.

Community & Grassroots Organizations

Ensuring inclusive economic development for all. 

Organizations that work directly with historically underserved populations know firsthand how small businesses transform communities. Through partnerships with community-based organizations that serve recent-immigrant populations, low-income neighborhoods and more, we have helped entrepreneurs build thriving businesses. That leads to local economies that are resilient and sustainable.
