About our Loans

Our loans can help you create income, build assets and overall help improve your economic security. Loans can be used for almost anything as long as it is legal and gets you back to work, helps you start a business, or helps you secure better and more affordable housing. The maximum size of the loan varies, for business it is $7,500, for getting back to work, it is $2,500, and for securing housing, it is $1,000.

For back to work and secure housing loans you need to fill out this Personal Application form. On the application you must show that you cannot get a loan elsewhere due to income, assets, security or credit history. You also must have three references that can speak on your behalf, not friends or family. In all cases, you need to show that you can make monthly payments.

Each loan carries a 5% to 10% fee and an interest rate of prime plus 3%. Loan decisions are made by a committee and can take up to one month to process depending on the applicant's ability to provide all necessary information.

Call Matt Brown at 652-5626 for any assistance or to set-up a meeting. 

Business Loans

So, you have a good idea but you don't have the money to get started. What you need is a business plan that tells us what your product or service is, why people want to buy it, how you'll sell it, where you'll sell it and how long it will take to make money. Our Business Plan Guide can help get you started. You will also need to fill out a Business Loan Application Form.

Back to Work Loans

If you have an opportunity to get back to work then you need to confirm the employment using our Employment Confirmation form. On the form, the company will confirm your job position, your hours, rate of pay and start date. We provide Money Matter$, a basic course in money management, to all back to work loan borrowers, and if completed, your loan is interest free.

Loans to Secure Housing

Housing loans will help you move to more affordable housing and better quality housing. They are not urgent loans. Each loan will require an inspection of current housing and future housing options. Applicants will be required to track their spending for a period of two weeks prior to a loan approval.
