Community First Fund

Community First Fund is an approved SBA Guarantee Lender. Approved to offer SBA loan products under SBA’s Preferred Lenders Program. This program helps us limit exposure to loan default and allows us to approve riskier loans. The program provides a federal loan guaranty on your loan and helps reduce the loan risk.  Microloans are for businesses that require less than $50,000 for start-up or expansion. They are a financing option for borrowers that don’t have access to other sources of capital. Borrowers are usually sole proprietors that have been in business for less than two years. Loan proceeds are generally used for machinery and equipment purchases, site improvements, working capital, inventory, materials and supplies, and expansion.
