Small Business
Our Vision: Credit union small business lenders have the resources needed to spur creation of quality jobs through entrepreneurship and worker ownership.
Entrepreneurs are essential to a thriving economy. They remain underserved by the mainstream financial system. That's where community development credit unions come in: to provide safe and affordable financial services and credit to entrepreneurs in their communities. Inclusiv is here to provide our member credit unions with sustainable, relevant, and effective small business lending solutions.

Small Business Capital Initiative
Inclusiv’s Small Business Capital Initiative helps establish and scale business lending programs to better serve communities across the country. We aim to increase the number of community lenders that offer business loans, expanding the availability of affordable and high-impact small business loans. Business lending positions credit unions as key stakeholders in and drivers of their local economies.
Our Approach
We enable community development credit unions (CDCUs) to scale their lending work in the communities they serve, positioning them as key stakeholders in their local small business ecosystems.
