New Markets Revolving Loan Fund

The New Markets Revolving Loan Fund (NMRLF) is a federal program to help small business owners in low-income neighborhoods access loans or micro-loans from lenders by providing funds for selected loan providers. Loan providers are required to provide dollar for dollar matching funds for each proposed NMRLF loan.

The current loan providers for this program are Seedco Financial Services, Inc. and Project Enterprise. Each loan provider has its own requirements and processes for applicants. In order to access loans, applicants should contact the loan providers directly. For loans up to $200,000 contact Seedco Financial Services for loans up to $12,000 contact Project Enterprise.
