Helping entrepreneurs trusted partners
CORE does not provide loans or gap financing directly, but we maintain strong relationships with organizations that do. Our role is to help you understand your options, determine what type of capital best fits your business, and connect you with the right partners.
How CORE Helps
The best way for us to guide you toward the right loan or financing program is to learn about your business first. That starts with our Needs Assessment.
