OCWCOG is excited to work with small businesses and lenders, continuing our mission of fostering economic development and stimulating job creation.
Lenders: OCWCOG is here to assist you in your efforts to help small businesses start-up and grow. Our value proposition encompasses reducing your risk, increasing your lending opportunities, and applying 30 years of our lending experience to community and business success.
Small Businesses: OCWCOG offers fixed rate loans to expanding small businesses and start-ups that cannot obtain traditional bank financing. We offer a variety of collateral based loan programs, representing various uses of proceeds, such as fixed asset purchases. Our loans can benefit your business with respect to cash retention, enabling you to reallocate cash towards other business needs. Talk to your local banker about participating in a companion loan with OCWCOG. If your local banker can’t help, we may still be able to. Visit www.OCWCOG.org for more details.
