When traditional banks say no, we say let’s try again.
We’re a different kind of lender.
Taking the right steps to get a small business loan can be challenging.
At Metro Community Development, we work with you to start or grow your small business by offering fair and affordable loans.
Our BizThrive program is designed for small businesses that have been in operation for two years or more and are ready for the next step in growth.
BizThrive offers market-rate loans from $50,001-$250,000.
We offer an SBA microloan program for loans of $50,000 or less.
