The benefits of working with a CDC include access to local focus, established relationships with lenders, efficiency, responsiveness, and experience.
CDC's are designed to help strengthen local businesses and support local economies, revitalize neighborhoods, and breathe new life into these areas. They also ensure that women and minority business owners are supported, while also providing help for veterans, and even offering advice and guidance for business owners.
