El Paso County Revolving Loan Fund

The El Paso County Revolving Loan Fund Program is a source of capital for expanding businesses within El Paso County.

Providing lower cost financing helps pave the way for small business owners to expand their businesses. The Revolving Loan Fund Program typically involves a private lender who may not otherwise provide complete financing. The public / private partnership can help smaller businesses finance their expansion, resulting in new employment opportunities.

El Paso County contracts with Pikes Peak Regional Development Corporation to administer the Revolving Loan Fund Program.

BUSINESS & PROJECT ELIGIBILITY

Funds may be used to acquire business interest, real estate, machinery, equipment, inventory, and working capital.

  • Applicants must be credit-worthy for-profit businesses located in unincorporated El Paso County, or in its incorporated smaller cities and towns.
  • Applicants located within El Paso County designated Enterprise Zones are eligible.
  • Manufacturing businesses located within the City of Colorado Springs are eligible.

LOAN STRUCTURE

The El Paso County RLF rarely finances 100% of any project. Banks or other private lending institutions may provide any portion of the project's cost. The small business concern must provide a minimum of 10% of the total project's cost.
