Not sure where to start?

Three questions, then your shortlist.

Answer what you can and skip the rest. We fill in the finder below for you. Loan type, amount, language and online-application answers use what 865 lenders say on their own websites (read 29 Oct 2026–4 Nov 2026).

1. What is the loan for?
2. About how much do you need?

Leave it empty if you are not sure. Lenders whose stated range or SBA record fits the amount come first; lenders that do not state one are listed after them as “ask them”, not left out.

3. Where do you live or run the business?

A ZIP code gives the closest match: lenders whose website names your county or town come first. If you enter both, the ZIP code wins.

Filter 1,268 certified lenders

Enter your ZIP code. Lenders that federal records show made loans in your county come first, then lenders whose own website names your county or town, then statewide lenders, branches near you and lenders based nearby. When a lender does not state the amount, language or loan type you picked, it is not dropped: it is listed under “ask them”.

    Where certified lenders are based.

    Each tile shows how many CDFIs have their headquarters there, from the official list. Many lend well beyond their home state, so open a state to see who serves it.

    Which loans each lender makes, how big, for whom, and where it actually lends. That is the gap this site fills, one lender website at a time — every filled field links back to the page it came from.
