KVCOG provides financing assistance for start-ups, expansions and modernizations throughout the region. Funding for the agency’s lending, grant and technical assistance programs are secured through a mix of State and federal loan and grant programs and strategic partnerships. KVCOG offers direct loan programs through our Revolving Loan Funds (RLF). An RLF lends funds to those in need and uses principal and interest payments to finance new loans.
Application
To get started with your loan, please fill out the KVCOG Application for Financing.
If you are in need of creating, or updating your business plan, please view our Business Plan Outline.
If you need more information, reach out to our RLF Specialist Maggie Camden via email at or or phone at (207) 453-4258 ext. 221
