Quick Reminders:

  • When a natural disaster strikes, our Small Business Natural Disaster Relief Loan Program can provide short-term financing of up to $10,000 for Charleston-area small businesses.  It's designed to provide swift relief to businesses in our area that need to replace inventory, secure buildings, purchase equipment, or general cash flow needs.  You can find the details @  http://charlestonldc.com/news/
  • New applications are accepted through the first business day of each month in order to be considered by our Board of Directors the first week of the following month.  However, if your business needs are under $25,000, you can submit an application at any time.  The LDC staff can review and approve loan requests of $25,000 and under.

Small businesses must be resourceful to stay afloat.  With smaller budgets, big ideas need to be as proactive as they are cost-efficient, taking into account everything from consistent industry changes, cash flow, customer needs and the unexpected challenged you never saw coming.
