BizThrive

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.

Metro Community Development will finance up to $250,000 of the total project. Eligible uses include building, construction, improvements, equipment purchases, contract financing, and in limited cases, working capital. Projects totaling $50,000 to $1,000,000 are best suited to this program.
