Financial Assistance and Training
Our loan officers will advise and help the individual to prepare a loan package to obtain business financing from the Minneapolis Consortium of Community Developers (MCCD) if businesses are located in Minneapolis or the west metro area.
The Neighborhood Development Center (NDC) assist with the businesses located in St. Paul or the east metro area.
In rural Minnesota we present loan packages to local initiative foundations or other financial institutions that offer SBA guaranteed business loans. Individuals seeking this kind of assistance are guided and advised about every existing financing option available.
Also you can learn and practice bookkeeping for your business using programs such as Excel, QuickBooks, and others.
