LOANS
Through the Community Futures Lending Program, PELA CFDC disburses loans of up to $250,000 to new and existing businesses in Prince Edward/Lennox & Addington Counties that directly support the creation and/or maintenance of jobs.
PELA CFDC specializes in providing term financing to businesses unable to access capital through traditional markets. Financing is considered for a variety of applications, including:
Loan requests are considered by an Investment Committee on the basis of:
- Technical & Management skills of the client
- Client character including credit history
- Jobs to be created or maintained
- Owner equity of normally not less than 25% of the requested loan value
- Adequate security
- Detailed and viable business plan
- Legal and/or regulatory considerations as they may impact the business
- Business Risk Assessment
- Environmental factors
PELA CFDC sets the interest rate, retaining flexibility to increase or decrease it based on the merits and risks of each loan application.
Clients are encouraged to explore traditional financing services first. Should bank financing be unavailable, or not fully meet client needs, PELA CFDC may offer a viable financing option.
PELA CFDC works cooperatively with area banks in an effort to address client needs, and will frequently work in conjunction with banks toward financing a plan that allows for business start-up or expansion.
Please note that a consultation with the Loan Officer is required before applications are submitted to the Committee for review. Please call one of our office locations to schedule an appointment if you have not already done so.
