Business Lending​

The Maryland Department ​of Housing and Community Development believes that small businesses are the engine that drives our economy. The department offers loans and business growth tools to new and expanding small businesses and nonprofit organizations whose efforts help improve and revitalize existing commercial districts and town centers. Our Neighborhood BusinessWorks loan program is used by small businesses and lending partners to provide financing options during all phases of business growth. The department is seeking to strengthen our partnerships with banks, community development financial institutions (CDFI’s) and mixed-use developers to explore how to help lenders and entrepreneurs turn business plans into actual, brick and mortar businesses.
