Start the Application Process

Here’s everything you’ll need to apply for a Community Futures loan.

At any time in this process, you can make an appointment with the business analyst at your local Community Futures to discuss your business idea. Some entrepreneurs prefer to work through the planning on their own, and others benefit from the expert coaching we can provide. The good news is that every business can benefit from the critical thinking required to complete a business plan! Once you create your profile, you can download templates for the documents we require to get you started. Here is a checklist of what we will need completed to decide on your loan:

  • Loan Application
  • Business Plan
  • 12 Month Cash Flow Forecast

And, because we are asking you to do all this work, here is our guarantee —

  1. We won’t ask you to do anything that isn’t just good business anyway
  2. We’re on your side, and we can help with your business plan and loan application
  3. We’ll process your loan request within 10 days of complete package submission
