Note: Ujima matches loan products to align with a business’s stage of growth and dollar amount needed.

  • Startup loans are made to pre-revenue businesses or businesses that have no history of sales.
  • Microfinance loans are made to businesses that have history of sales but may not be profitable.
  • Small business loans are made to businesses with at least 2 years of financial history.
  • Growth loans are given to businesses with at least 2 years of financial history and a record of being profitable.

Ujima knows that community needs extend beyond small businesses, and also intends to invest in other community-identified needs through these two vehicles:
  • Major initiatives are investments in major projects and infrastructure such as community-owned internet or alternative energy. 
  • Real estate investments are partnership deals, rehab, and/or acquisition real estate projects with experienced value-aligned investors.
