“Our experience with CMDC and our bank First Bank Elk River was very positive. CMDC strategically guided us through the 504 program which allowed us to get the funding necessary to purchase our building, construct an addition and install our new state-of-the-art brewing equipment. As a result of their help we now have the ability to scale up production and position us for future growth. The process with CMDC was smooth and the staff was extremely helpful and responsive to our needs. I would recommend to anyone the CMDC team.”
“Navigating the SBA loan process can be challenging, particularly for small business owners that are very busy with so many responsibilities. CMDC was my partner and guide throughout the loan process, and ensured everything was done fully and timely to keep the process moving. There was clear and regular communication, advice, and expertise to draw upon, and they were positive and supportive throughout. In fact, it was all so positive that I did not even consider any one other then CMDC when, several years later, I needed to secure a second SBA loan.”
"From start to finish, the team at CMDC was a pleasure to work with in assisting me in securing an SBA loan. What I valued most is that they made a very complex process as straight forward as possible on my end. They helped walk me through the all the steps in preparing financial documents, kept me up to date on any changes and were regularly in communication with other players involved as needed. It was clear that they know all the ins and outs of the process and it was reassuring to be working with experts when making such a large financial decision. I am thankful to have had such a supportive, kind, and present team to work and would highly recommend CMDC as a partner.”
“Working with the Kevin and the team and CMDC was a great experience. Never having been through the SBA loan process, it seemed like a daunting ordeal, but CMDC made the process seamless and answered all my questions. They did all the heavy lifting and dealt with the SBA on my behalf so I could focus on running my business. We were able to save thousands of dollars on our SBA building loan with CMDC over a conventional bank loan. I would highly recommend the team at CMDC for a simple and cost saving SBA loan.”
“I have been working with CMDC for over 20 years and they are just THE BEST at what they do! They have helped me through the process of securing several SBA and State funded loans and have gone above and beyond in helping me problem-solve during my projects. I know that I can count on their team to ALWAYS answer my questions quickly and accurately. I appreciate having you to help the businesses in our community!”
