CDC Small Business Finance

At the heart of CDC Small Business Finance is a deeply ingrained culture of purpose-driven lending and a commitment to fostering economic equity. As a key part of the Momentus Capital family of organizations, the company operates not for profit, but for the prosperity of communities. Since its inception in 1978, the organization has been a steadfast advocate for entrepreneurs, especially those who have historically faced the greatest hurdles in securing capital, including women, minority, and veteran business owners. The team's philosophy transcends mere financial transactions; they believe in the power of the entire entrepreneurial story, looking beyond hard numbers to understand the vision and potential of each small business they serve. This approach is rooted in the conviction that investing in an entrepreneur is a direct investment in their community, leading to job creation, economic development, and the building of generational wealth.

The culture at CDC Small Business Finance is one of collaboration, innovation, and unwavering support. This is manifested through their alliance with Capital Impact Partners under the Momentus Capital brand, a strategic move designed to deliver a more holistic and comprehensive suite of financial products, knowledge, and social capital. This union is transforming how capital flows into disinvested communities, aiming to reinvent traditional financial systems that have perpetuated inequality. Team members are driven by a shared mission to empower local leaders and help them build strong, vibrant, and healthy places of opportunity. They are encouraged to be curious, adaptable, and dedicated to building their skills to better advance a vision where all people have the right to achieve their dreams for themselves, their families, and future generations. This commitment to people starts internally, with a supportive environment that invests in its own team, ensuring they have the resources and encouragement to make a tangible difference.
