Sources of Funds
Urban Solutions can assist you in accessing loans from the Mayor's Office of Community Development and from banks. We can help you secure a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan guarantee, participate in the SBA Pre-Qualification program, or apply for a micro loan. In certain San Francisco neighborhoods, we work with the City to administer facade improvement and business revitalization loans.
