Community Capital New York

www.communitycapitalny.org

Community Capital New York is a not for profit lender serving seven counties in the Mid-Hudson region (Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester) as well as the Bronx. We specialize in making loans to those start up and emerging small businesses that are not yet able to secure a loan from a traditional lender due to the size of the loan, the length of time in business, credit issues, limited cash flow and/or the availability of collateral. In particular, we seek to serve low income women, minority and veteran borrowers and businesses located in distressed communities. Our more flexible underwriting creates opportunities for solid, sound businesses to move to the next level, even if they don’t presently qualify for bank loans. We are committed to fair, responsible, transparent lending. Our bi-lingual staff will work with you to determine if a loan is the best solution for your business at this time or if there is other assistance that will help you achieve your goals without taking on debt. If a loan is the right answer, we will help you pull your loan application together and be there for you once you are approved. Our staff provides over 3000 hours of training, coaching and one on one assistance to our small business clients each year at no charge. We will help you hone the skills you need to run a successful business, create jobs, and revitalize your neighborhood.

BUSINESS LENDING INFO: After four years, 87% of our businesses are still in business, compared to a national average of 50% - we attribute that success rate to the technical assistance, training, coaching and support we provide to our customers every day.

Microenterprise development was and continues to be a primary tool used by Cooperative Federal to foster equal opportunity, promote economic justice, and build household and community assets. Today, Cooperative Federal is a full-service, city-wide financial institution that serves the economically distressed urban core of Syracuse from 3 neighborhood offices (Eastside, Southwest and Northside) plus student branches in 3 Syracuse public high schools.

Cooperative Federal enables entrepreneurs to benefit from borrowed capital without taking on more debt than they can afford. We specialize in providing incremental infusions of capital that are appropriate for start-ups and other microenterprises.

BUSINESS LENDING INFO: A wide variety of loan amounts, terms, and security types are available but we primarily make microloans of $5,000-$35,000.

Depending on collateral & risk rating, rates can be as low as 3.50% APR, maxing at 7% above prime for term loans and 18% for revolving credit. Our underwriting standards emphasize flexibility, with credit incentive & relationship pricing, and alternative credit verification options.
