Connect2Capital

Venturize connects small business owners to potential financing options and business assistance services offered by Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs).

As mission-driven community lenders, CDFIs play an important role in the small business financing ecosystem. They work with small business owners who have traditionally struggled to access capital from traditional financial institutions, such as banks. CDFIs offer a wide range of financing options for businesses including term loans, lines of credit, credit cards and real estate financing and more. Product offerings vary between CDFIs.
