As a steadfast partner for local entrepreneurs, CEDC is proud to provide entrepreneurs with the financial resources needed to thrive, innovate, create jobs and contribute to their communities. CEDC’s loan program makes capital available to businesses in need of gap financing or who are not eligible to access traditional bank financing. Lending access for small and higher risk businesses remain ever-critical as private credit companies continue to expand their reach in online high-interest predatory lending. As traditional lending interest rates rise and disruptions demand innovation at every turn, CEDC remains committed to supporting business owners before, during and after loan disbursement. In addition: CEDC launched a new loan fund to support affordable housing development, due to the lack of capital for small unit rehabilitation. In partnership with four economic development groups, began developing a multi-language online lending platform to assist with online access for borrowers. CEDC revised its loan policy to consider social equity and impact into its underwriting process.
