Access Funds When You Need Them

Cover the short-term financial needs of your business with a flexible line of credit that works like a credit card but without the high interest rates! Our interest rate is fixed at 9%. An Allies for Community Business line of credit allows an entrepreneur to draw, repay, and redraw from available funds. 


 Helpful features include:

  • Personal collateral is not required for a line of credit. 
  • Payments are interest only for the first year on only the money borrowed.

We offer term loans and lines of credit between $500 and $100,000 to early, emerging, and established businesses in Illinois and Indiana.


As we approach the upcoming holidays, please note that new applications submitted after December 1 might not be funded until the new year, depending on how quickly we work together to complete the application and evaluation. We look forward to working with you.
