Get Started With A PCV Loan
If you’re a California company that’s been in business for at least 12 months, and you’ve got at least 1 full- or part-time employee, then we’d love to work with you! We don’t require a minimum credit score, and specialize in working with small business owners who’ve had a hard time accessing capital, like female entrepreneurs, immigrant entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs of color, and borrowers that may have been turned down for SBA or traditional bank loans.

How PCV’s Small Business Loans Are Different
Small businesses create our jobs and make our communities unique, and yet small businesses struggle to access the capital and support they need to grow. Every day, 8,000 small business loan requests are declined by banks across America. PCV is different: As a community development financial institution (CDFI) we’re more flexible than a bank, credit union, or the Small Business Administration. We make the loan process simple and straightforward:
A personal relationship with your business
Our CDFI has been providing small business support to California communities for over two decades, with a special focus on Bay Area communities like San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Richmond, and Hayward.
A quick response on your loan eligibility
Our loan officers typically respond to new small business loan applications within 24 hours.
Frequent communication during the loan process
We provide one-on-one expert business advising during the loan application process, and while your small business is paying back the loan. This hands-on approach to investing helps insure the long term success of your small business.
