When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Boston small businesses needing local gap capital for growth or investment.

What to weigh carefully

  • Do not confuse BLDC’s direct loans with BIDFA bond financing; confirm job-creation requirements, lien position and closing timeline.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. What job commitments and security are required?
  2. Does my request fit the standard or Backstreets program?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.

Alternatives to research

These are options for a related financing need, not a ranking or a claim of equivalent eligibility or pricing.
