Lending Capital
Small business and nonprofit owners need flexible capital that meets individual needs. Our one one-size-fits-one approach to lending allows us to meet you where you are.
Coaching & Guidance
Our coaching and guidance efforts are the cornerstone of our lending work across the state. We approach this as business consultants and find the tools and resources that work for you. Our belief that lending alone isn't enough is central to our mission. We are with you for the long haul.
Grant Writing & Project Development
Grant funds require significant planning and preparation before an application is submitted: establish a scope of work, develop budgets and timelines, and identify match funds. Then, when a potential funding source is discovered, collect organizational documents. Our experience in securing and administering grant funds supports projects that create jobs and improve communities.

Celebrating Success
We only succeed when our borrowers succeed. Their stories bring us joy and drive us every day to work to provide more opportunities for our neighbors to shine.
They took the time to really get to know our business, and offered a loan that fit our unique needs. They’re interested in helping New Hampshire businesses with job creation and stability.
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.
