• Business Loans up to $50,000: for established profitable businesses
• Start-Up Loans up to $30,000: for businesses with 6 months in operation, but that are not yet profitable.
• Transition Business loans up to $30,000: for the purchase of an existing business or a change in business location
*Not everyone will qualify for a micro loan. The process is selective due to the nature of business. Because an additional unpaid loan would create financial hardship, it is a disservice to issue a loan to a candidate who cannot repay.
