Welcome to Rising Tide Community Loan Fund, small business loan products for the Lehigh Valley!
Rising Tide Community Loan Fund helps the local economy thrive by offering loan products to startup and established small businesses in our community whose risk factors make it difficult to obtain traditional business funding.
Available to established companies, these loans can provide additional working capital, help fund an expansion and more.
Designed as gap financing, these loans are available to retail, mercantile, or service businesses operating within the City of Allentown's Consolidated Plan.
These small loans are designed to help give your business the boost it needs, like ordering more inventory or enhancing your marketing strategy.
Lines of Credit are ideal solutions for providing seasonal working capital or funds for inventory management. All small businesses – startups and established – are eligible to apply.
All the forms you need to apply for a Rising Tide Community Fund Loan are available online. However, we encourage all applicants to read the FAQs before starting the processes, and to reach out for technical assistance and advice as needed.
