• $150,000 maximum
• Interest rates vary from (As low as
Prime +2)
• Generally 5-year terms and
amortization
• Generally, require a minimal equity
contribution from client; often 10%
Access to Capital
Loan funds are intended to complement
conventional financing, not to replace
it, thus many Community Futures
organizations tend to act as a
supplemental or secondary lender.
Some also offer other forms of
financial support such as loan
guarantees and equity investments.
Access to Capital
Community Futures loan funds are small
compared to most financial
institutions. As a result, we seek
sufficient security whenever possible;
but do not necessarily limit security
taken to business assets.
However, the small fund size also
allows us to provide more in-depth
counseling than most lenders; often
provide extensive pre-loan assistance
with cash flow or business plan
preparation. COMMUNITY FUTURES MANITOBA | COMMUNITY FUTURES OVERIEW

• Community Futures organizations do
not do direct agricultural lending,
however value-added agricultural
lending is within our mandate
• Do not do personal lending or

Business Training Services
