Loan Fund


Neighborhood Concepts provides access to capital to small businesses that create or retain jobs in north Alabama communities.

Many small businesses will encounter roadblocks when seeking start-up funding or capital for expansion. When this happens, NCI can often provide the financing. Loan amounts of $5,000 - $350,000 are available to small businesses that generally cannot qualify for loans from banks or credit unions.
