Small Business Loans

Access to capital for Small Business

Community Futures provide entrepreneurs with small business loans up to $150,000 when traditional financial institutions are unable to help. Loans are available for new business start-ups, business expansion, or to stabilize an existing business.

A loans committee comprised of community volunteers is involved with the loan review process. This ensures community input on loan approvals.

Acceptance for a Business Development Loan depends on:

* Market potential and future economic viability of the business

* Location of the business

* Competent management

* Local job creation

* Experience related to the venture

* Reasonable personal financial investment

* Ability to repay

* Adequate security for the venture

Creation of a business plan will prove the viability of the business idea. Our Training programs help entrepreneurs understand how to research and write a business plan.

Community Futures loans are offered with:

* Competitive interest rates

* Flexible repayment schedules

* No pre-payment penalty

For a discussion about your business idea and financial needs, contact our Houston office today to make an appointment with our Loans Analyst at 250.845.2522, or toll free at 1.800.556.5539.
