Gap Financing Loans

Program

PCDC can sometimes take the risk that a bank cannot to supplement the financing needed for a business to expand, start up or, or transition. Gap Financing is defined as the difference between the cost of a project and the combination of money available from the owner and the bank.

Project cost - Owner’s Equity - Bank Financing = Gap

Gap Financing Loans may be used for:

  • Low interest short-term loans (1 – 3 years) to help existing businesses expand their customer base, inventory or to improve operations.
  • Long-term gap financing loans to facilitate ownership transition of existing businesses. (loan percentage is subject to adjustment based on market conditions.)
  • Funds may be used for equipment, improvements, or purchase of a business.
  • PCDC funds will not exceed 50% of the total capital costs.
  • Funds may not be used for working capital.
