Prepare to Help Businesses Recover

By: cuBIZloan

cuBIZloan.com expects the US Government to aggressively use the Small Business Administration to funnel capital to businesses and facilitate recovery during this economic slowdown.

Our programs position credit unions to be in the forefront to help business owners find an avenue to capital.

Every credit union, regardless of their business lending expertise, should reach out to their business community and direct them to an SBA Disaster Recovery Loan. cuBIZloan’s Referral Credit Union program can facilitate loans through the SBA and USDA, without risk of loss to the referring credit union.

Let’s help local businesses, and in turn, your credit union.
