SBA Community Express Loan Program
Thank you for your interest in the Community Express Loan Program. We are happy to have the opportunity to help you obtain the working capital you need to run a successful business!
Community Express is a special US Small Business Administration (SBA) loan program designed to provide loans to start-up businesses and existing small businesses that may have difficulty obtaining financing through traditional banks.
As part of the Community Express Loan Program, the SBA and its participating lenders require borrowers to obtain technical assistance. Technical assistance is the one-on-one business counseling offered by the Women's Business Center at New Visions, New Ventures and it is designed to help you on your road to business success. This may include assistance with developing a business plan, selecting the most appropriate lender and completing the loan application.

Caroline Nowery is NVNV's primary technical assistance provider. She will work with you throughout the loan process to increase your chances of securing financing for the start-up or expansion of your business venture. Caroline also hosts our free orientation sessions every Tuesday.
