Need more than just a loan? We provide free business coaching to our borrowers and loan applicants.

We work closely with our borrowers every step of the way, from the inquiry stage throughout the lifetime of the loan, making sure you have access to all the tools you need for your business to be sustainable. We'll meet with you to provide assistance at your location, over the phone or online, or at the Loan Fund's offices in Montpelier, at a time that's convenient for you.
