Micro Loan Program

The micro loan program is targeted to socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and small businesses in Shawnee County. It is designed to create and expand businesses while creating jobs.

This comprehensive initiative is more than a micro loan. Other benefits include:

• Mentoring to show you the ropes of running a business and tapping into the right networks.
• The formula to success at classes developed by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and/or other business seminars.
• A support system, a feasibility plan specific to your business and confidence to succeed.

How do I qualify?

• Your business must be for profit. The only exceptions are not-for-profit child care facilities.
• You must be a start-up business or a business that wants to expand.
• Certain credit and collateral requirements apply.
• You must strive to create jobs.
• You must attend educational training sessions.
