The City can offer two methods of business financial assistance.
Assistance is available through either our Revolving Loan Program or our Redevelopment Agency. More information on each program is available on this site.
If you don’t qualify for these programs, don’t give up there! We also provide a list of links for public, private, or government lenders.
We’ve listed a few of the contacts for funding, but please refer to the contact information on this page for a complete listing of potential funding sources.
If conventional funding is required, Lincoln has many private lending institutions available to help process your loan. Contact the Lincoln Area Chamber of Commerce for a member listing.
We also recommend contacting the Small Business Development Center for referrals.
