Our nonprofit lenders have decades of experience working with small businesses, including those in communities with historical barriers to financial services. They’re available with careful guidance, support and knowledge, and they’re invested in your long-term success.
If you're not matched with a lender at this time, or if you are looking for additional business support, our network of free or low-cost resources in Detroit are available to you.
This platform was built thanks to generous donations from philanthropic partners.
Detroit Capital Hub is a referral platform intended to connect small business owners with nonprofit lenders who may be able to provide assistance. Submission of an application and/or being matched with a lender does not constitute an offer, commitment, or guarantee of credit. Loan approval, funding, terms, and conditions are made solely at the discretion of the participating lender, based on its independent review of information provided by the applicant and other relevant sources. Applicants may be required to provide additional documentation or information as part of the lender’s underwriting process. All rates, terms, and loan products are subject to change without notice. Detroit Capital Hub does not make lending decisions and is not liable for any actions or decisions made by participating lenders.
