Our Community Loan Fund Helps Local Businesses

At the CDC, we make loan decisions locally, taking into account much more than simple business numbers. Our perspective is unique because we are local, just like you. We support a wide variety of ideas and ventures and we offer flexible financing that meets your business needs.

Our goal is to help community businesses transform vision into reality and strengthen our local economy.
If you are located in Orillia, Oro-Medonte, Ramara, Rama, or Severn, you are eligible to apply for up to $300,000 through our Investment Program.
