Diverse Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Access to Capital Program

We are excited to announce a transformative partnership between the Diverse Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) and CDFI partnerships, designed to provide Access to Capital for businesses that have successfully completed the Diverse Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneur 8-Week Training Program.

This initiative is dedicated to empowering local businesses with essential financial resources, free from application fees or credit check fees, depending on the specific CDFI partnership.
 
At DCCI, we are committed to fostering inclusivity and equal opportunity. We understand the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs, especially those from diverse backgrounds. Our collaboration aims to bridge the financial gaps and provide equitable access to capital for all aspiring business owners. We encourage both startups and established businesses to take full advantage of this opportunity.

Key highlights of the Access to Capital program

1. Loan Range
Access loans ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, with options available for amounts up to $100,000 for eligible businesses.
 
2. Credit Score
 We recognize that credit score should not be the sole determining factor in the loan application process. Our evaluation will focus on the viability and potential of your business, ensuring that credit history does not hinder deserving entrepreneurs from obtaining the capital they need.
 
3. No Application Fees
To reduce barriers for business owners, no application fees will be charged for participating in the Access to Capital program.
 

4. Support for Startups

Understanding the importance of nurturing new ventures, this program offers a unique opportunity for startups to secure the funding necessary for growth and success.
 
5. Eligibility Requirements
To apply for the Access to Capital program, businesses must have successfully completed the Entrepreneur 8-Week Training Program offered by DCCI. Once this requirement is met, eligible businesses can submit their loan application without the burden of application or credit check fees.
