Our Lending Philosophy
Over the past 30 years, The Loan Fund has helped hundreds of New Mexicans grow, learn and succeed while enabling them to create sustainable businesses and thousands of jobs. We make good loans to good people, working with a diverse group of small businesses and nonprofits from all parts of New Mexico.
Our clients are like you, hard-working and smart-thinking. But, when they’re ready to start or expand their business or nonprofit, they may not fit into a bank’s lending guidelines. That’s why banks, credit unions, and community organizations refer so many small businesses and nonprofits to us. Our loan officers (all with extensive banking experience) build just the right financing for each client, with simple paperwork, quick approvals, and flexible payment schedules.
Small Business Loans
We work with people who have great ideas, but cannot access traditional financing. Our lenders are highly skilled and experienced in community development; we work closely with referring banks to empower local economies, helping entrepreneurs get started, and existing businesses expand. Our clients own restaurants, art galleries, school buses, trucking companies, flower shops, assisted living facilities, and more!
