The CLiMB Fund in a Nutshell

The CLiMB Fund is a financial lifeline for licensed businesses within Campbell County. Small business owners can apply for loans of up to $10,000 at a competitive rate, set at one percent below the Prime interest rate. These loans come with flexible terms, allowing you to choose a repayment period of up to 60 months. What’s more, the IDA has committed a substantial $50,000 to this program, underscoring their dedication to the local business community.

A Revolving Loan Fund for Community Growth

Revolving Loan Funds, like the CLiMB Fund, are pivotal tools that communities use to support local businesses. By offering these loans, we create opportunities for job growth and stimulate private investment, which ultimately contributes to a more diversified and stable local economy. The IDA’s mission for the CLiMB Fund is clear: to stimulate business development and expansion, encourage private investment, promote economic growth, and enhance community vitality. Campbell County proudly stands as the sole locality in the region offering a program of this kind.

Why Now is the Perfect Time to Climb Higher

Nina Rezai, Campbell County’s Director of Economic Development, highlights the program’s impeccable timing. She explains, “Although this new program has been in the works for several months, the recent increase in interest rates has made the timing of the CLiMB Fund rollout particularly helpful. We are hoping the attractive terms of these loans will encourage businesses to act on potential projects and expansions.”
