When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Small businesses in CEII’s service area seeking a microloan for operating or equipment needs.

What to weigh carefully

  • Nonprofits are generally excluded except daycare businesses; confirm the county list, collateral, guarantees and current program capacity.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Does my county and business activity qualify?
  2. What owner contribution, collateral and repayment schedule apply?

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.
