Coastal Community Capital is a community development financial institution. Since 1995, Coastal has supported Massachusetts businesses, providing millions of dollars in loans and creating and retaining over 5,000 jobs. Coastal lends directly, and if necessary, partners with the SBA providing up to 25-year, low, fixed interest rates for real estate acquisition and debt refi. Loans range from $5,000 to $20,000,000.
Our mission is to provide loan capital to Massachusetts and rural New England businesses who create businesses and jobs. We have successfully closed many millions of dollars in loans since our founding. We loan money employing a variety of creative means to provide credit enhancements to businesses. Coastal has access to an array of funding sources, including SBA 504 loans, loan guarantees, and direct lending which are constantly evolving to provide the best solution for borrowers.
We also promote economic development and business growth via our free business mentoring and ongoing business workshops.
