Referral Partnerships

We finance business loans that don’t fit a conventional bank lending model

CRF works with a variety of partners and leverages their institutional knowledge of the communities they serve to connect us with the small businesses that are best positioned to secure and enhance the future of our communities. Our community partner network includes business advisors, community banks and credit unions, brokers, CDFIs, local governments and other organizations that are committed to improving the lives of people living and working in communities with economic challenges. These partners each have proven track-records in the communities they serve and a deep understanding of needs and gaps in the finance system.

Our partners often refer small business owners to CRF when loan applications fail to meet the criteria of traditional lenders. CRF then assesses the needs of the small business and works to provide the best financing solution possible. We’re experienced, we’re quick with an answer and we pride ourselves on delivering a positive customer experience.
