Business Lending
Rethinking Small Business Lending
Success begins with a chance
CRF finances small business loans that don’t fit a conventional model. When a project doesn’t meet another lender’s criteria, CRF can often help. We work with other lenders, community partners, business advisors and directly with business owners to identify and finance projects that create jobs and provide essential services.
All loans subject to credit approval

Our patient capital loan provides a form of capital with patient and flexible repayment terms. Loans are currently only offered to small businesses in Chicago, Twin Cities, Denver, Milwaukee and Detroit.
Success Stories
“Our communities have traditionally been underserved by mental health professionals, and this project is a huge step toward fulfilling our mission of enabling, empowering and helping facilitate personal restoration, particularly for people of color. “Having a resource like CRF and its partners on our side has made an enormous difference in our success.”
