It all starts with your story. The more we learn about you, the better we can connect your small business with the resources it needs.
CRF has more than 35 years of experience working with entrepreneurs to provide access to innovative financial solutions.
We know your journey doesn’t end with access to capital. We take the time to understand your business needs and build a relationship that goes beyond lending.
“This project would not have happened if CRF was not there. You talk with some institutions that say they have a commitment to community, but as you go down the road, you realize there’s only a commitment if you meet a certain type of profile. CRF is different – they recognized my commitment and worked with me on my small business journey.”
"Without help from the Chicago Small Business Resiliency Fund and from CRF, we may not have been able to survive COVID-19. We’ve got a good product and now that we are properly capitalized, I have no doubt we will be here to stay."
“Our communities have traditionally been underserved by mental health professionals, and this project is a huge step toward fulfilling our mission. Having a resource like CRF and its partners on our side has made an enormous difference in our success.”
“CRF’s financing gave me the boost to get my business to the next level. I know I wouldn’t have been able to expand this fast without them. Thank you!”
