It’s no secret that banks are risk-averse, and prefer to lend money to borrowers that are the most likely to repay their loans. An unfortunate side effect of this practice is that it results in fewer people getting the money they need to grow their businesses. Not only does this limit small business owners in their ability to achieve higher levels of success, it also causes the local economy to stall.

We at CIED have seen how mainstream lenders are failing local communities. We seek to change that by lending to the small business owner who wants to take advantage of an opportunity, but doesn’t have perfect credit. That can be anything from taking on a larger space, buying more equipment or upgrades, and making capital improvements to increase capacity.

Our goal is to step in and lend where others won’t, help you learn how to use your capital in ways that make sense, and show you how to identify opportunities that bring growth and success. Meanwhile, we want to help you serve your community and make it a better place for everyone.

Borrowing from CIED gives you access to business education that teaches you how to find success. We’re here to help fund your passion and become someone that everyone in the community looks up to.
