Financing - Financing and Strategy for Entrepreneurs

We provide loans for business start up, stabilization and expansion in Northumberland up to $250,000.

Our organization is not in competition with other financial institutions. Rather, we compliment them—and, in fact, we often work collaboratively with banks in Northumberland to find financing solutions for local entrepreneurs.

In order to qualify for a loan, you must have already explored traditional financing services first.

Should traditional financing be either insufficient or not available, we may be able to offer a lending solution.
