Lending Solutions
CAB is for small and entrepreneurial Connecticut businesses that are requesting financing that a bank cannot approve without assistance from the program. You can use the proceeds for most business purposes, including working capital, machinery and equipment, and the purchase or upgrading of facilities.
Proceeds cannot be used to fund investment or residential real estate mortgages. Investment mortgages are defined as those that are less than 51 percent business-owner occupied.
How CAB works:
- CAB provides the bank with a first loss guaranty from 30 to 50 percent (up to a maximum amount of $150,000), depending on the loan amount (loan not to exceed $500,000).
- CAB loans can be coupled with loans or investments from other public- or private-sector sources.
- Completion of a loan application is required for enrollment.
We encourage you to reach out or complete an application. Someone from our team will be available to assist you.
