CGF offers three loan types: Enterprise, Immigration and Green Credit Builder Loans:
Business loans are $500-$3,000, and are for low and moderate income entrepreneurs that want to start or expand a micro or small business. Immigration loans are $875, and cover the cost of applying to become a United States citizen. Loan terms are 1 year. Business loans carry an interest rate of 15% APR and citizenship loans carry an interest rate of 12.63% APR. In addition, we have a Green Credit Builder loan that covers the cost of purchasing and installing a programmable thermostat in the borrower’s place of residence. The $150 loan is paid back in 9 payments of $18 and comes with training on strategies for building credit and saving energy.
If you are interested in either a business or citizenship loan, please call us at 866-584-3651 and a Capital Good Fund loan officer will be able to answer your questions.
