Loan Readiness Certification
Your Instructor
Business Impact NW is a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). We provide coaching, classes, and access to loans to small businesses across Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, serving entrepreneurs at every stage of their business growth, from early ideas to established businesses. We have been serving the community since 1997.
Our team is dedicated to helping underbanked entrepreneurs, with an emphasis on working with socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in the financial and business sectors. Our services are open to all.
Because of our community impact mission, our lending guidelines are more flexible than those of traditional banks. While careful in our decision-making process, we are able to take considered risks on entrepreneurs who would not otherwise have access to financial services.
Our organization was founded as the Seattle Economic Development Fund and was previously known as Community Capital Development. Business Impact NW is a certified, rated, and regulated financial institution. It is not a U.S. or state government agency.
