Lending

Rende Progress Capital hopes that our loans-and how we provide them-will positively change the life and businesses of our borrowers. We also hope to create positive change for communities and families because our borrowers will have high growth businesses to hire people, serve more customers and pass on wealth to their children.

Rende Progress Capital provides loans through a combination of traditional loan approval criteria merged with our FAREsm system (Financing Approval through Racial Equity). FARE is used to establish character criteria for a borrower and provide important information and lending decisions that traditional lenders cannot and do not use.

Race4Progress 2.0

In the time period of COVID-19, the initial RACE4Progress Loan offered a low-interest small business loan and flexibility in the loan term periods to the Excluded Entrepreneurs of Color from existing businesses as soon as possible and includes application processes where RPC can offer flexibility in the areas of term periods, loan amounts, absence of collateral, and reduced financial statements documentation.

In recognition of the impact of our original RACE4Progress financial relief loan, RPC has launched the RACE4Progress2.0 loan to continue providing low-interest small business loans with flexible loan term periods to the Excluded Entrepreneurs of Color owned businesses who can provide financial documentation of their business operations continuing to face financial harm from the continuing economic effects from COVID-19. Similar to RACE4Progress, RACE4Progress2.0 offers flexibility in the areas of term periods, loan amounts, absence of collateral, and reduced financial statements documentation. This loan does provide opportunities for undocumented entrepreneurs to apply. The loan is for such businesses that can demonstrate negative economic impacts on their business due to COVID-19.

Only Excluded Entrepreneurs of Color located in the Grand Rapids Area are eligible for consideration
