Hello and welcome! We are excited that you are interested in working with CIC. We provide loans and business education to small businesses located in Southern Arizona, namely Pima, Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, Pinal, Santa Cruz, and Yuma counties. If your business is located in one of those counties, you are in the right place!
We have a two-step application process and the first step is to complete the pre-application, which will help us get a better sense of what you’re after. Once you complete the pre-application someone from our team will contact you to further discuss your needs.
Please note that your information is saved on our secured server as you complete this form.
Note: If you would like to receive a link of your form to complete at a later time, please click "Save & Continue Later."
We're sorry, but as a nonprofit lender serving Southern Arizona, it sounds like your business would likely not qualify. If you are based elsewhere, but a significant portion of your business serves one of the above listed counties, please select that county to continue this form.
If you are located outside of Southern Arizona, we suggest reaching out to Arizona Capital Source, Growth Partners Arizona, or visiting AZNavigator to find a provider in your county.
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear CIC will be able to meet your needs. Your requested loan size is too large -- We typically make loans up to $100,000.
If your circumstances change, please feel free to come back and complete a new form to determine if CIC can be of any assistance. Thank you!
