The South Central Alabama Development Commission’s Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Program is a locally controlled source of capital used to provide gap financing to start-up and expanding businesses in Montgomery, Bullock, Butler, Crenshaw, Lowndes, Macon, and Pike counties. The primary goal of the program is to stimulate the economy through the creation of local jobs. The RLF targets small to medium-sized businesses, which are financially sound but are unable to secure adequate financing for start-up or expansion projects. Loans can be made for financing land, buildings, equipment, and working capital. The RLF was not established to compete with private lending institutions but to complement commercial lending programs by providing necessary “gap finance” once the bank and owner have reached their financial limits.
Additional funds are currently available to assist businesses and industries in Montgomery county. These funds have specifically targeted the Montgomery area in order to stimulate economic activity and support the creation of jobs in this region.
Applications can be downloaded from this site and submitted by mail or e-mail. For more information about SCADC’s RLF please contact the following:
