LEND

This added value that we provide our clients is the difference-maker in creating long-lasting impact.
INVEST
Our efforts are to help the communities we serve to flourish. Assisting our clients to grow and develop their business is what we strive for, but we work knowing that there is a bigger goal to achieve. By investing in our clients, we help revitalize and reinvigorate the communities they serve. By providing financing solutions like the New Markets Tax Credit or the Opportunity Zone programs, which help attract developers and investors to invest in economically distressed communities, we are able to have a larger impact when working with community leaders, businesses, and residents.
SUCCESS
As success can look very different for each of our clients, we focus on the bigger picture of what the development and growth of these businesses mean. At a much larger scale, by investing in growth opportunities for our clients, we are able to see the social and economic impact they have on their communities. From providing services that didn’t exist, or developing areas that were underserved and undeveloped, they are able to create jobs and opportunities for those that live in the communities. This leads to the economic growth and impact Prestamos is seeking to establish.

SPOTLIGHT STORIES

What is a CDFI?

A Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), like Prestamos, is dedicated to helping economic growth in underserved areas by providing financing solutions to businesses and economic development projects. Our small business loans are often easier for which to qualify than traditional bank loans. Most CDFI loans are simple products that have predictable payments at affordable rates and fees. We are also more likely to approve loans for businesses with profiles that traditional banks deem too high of a risk to offer a loan.

Startup-Friendly

Many startup businesses have a tough time getting financing because they have not had a chance to prove their stability. Traditional lenders tend to see them as too risky. But, as a CDFI, Prestamos can extend financing to very young businesses, removing that barrier to growth.

What is the goal of a CDFI?

The goal is to develop economic opportunity for individuals and businesses in communities which are low-income with a concentration of historically underserved residents. We support the community by being a catalyst for change by injecting capital into local areas with the highest needs. This helps to revitalize communities by creating jobs developing housing and commercial real estate for long-term sustainable community growth.

Investing with Prestamos

Community development loan funds put investor money to work in the local community. And, because we work with our borrowers to increase the chances of success, the charge-off rates are generally very low. Because of this, Prestamos has a strong financial track record. We offer a variety of investment products designed to fulfill the needs of a variety of investors.
