3. Cannabis Business Loan The Cannabis Business Loan Fund is an opportunity for social equity licensed cannabis businesses to receive lending capital to build and improve their current business operations. The Cannabis Business Office has partnered with mission-based lender, NuProject, to provide lending capital that is not otherwise available through traditional lenders.
This is a low-interest, revolving loan fund, meaning that the dollars will be used to continue supporting future cannabis businesses as loans are repaid. Using an initial investment of $1,000,000, NuProject will provide loans between $50,000 and $150,000 to social equity licensed cannabis business owners.
Loans will have favorable and manageable terms based on borrower needs, and interest generated will be reinvested into the revolving loan fund for use with future borrowers. NuProject is uniquely qualified to manage this loan fund due to their history of mission-based lending practices within the cannabis industry.
These mission-based lending practices allow businesses to access loans, even if they would typically be excluded from lending opportunities due to lack of collateralization, limited cash flow, participation in the cannabis industry, or various other reasons.
