This includes defining the scope of work, developing detailed budgets and timelines, and identifying potential matching funds.

All Stories

Working with the Community Loan Fund was so much easier than I expected. Within two weeks I was meeting with a feasibility study consultant with experience in our field. The result is a large savings in time and capital and more focus on the essence of our business. The Community Loan Fund is a fantastic resource.
