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.

If you are interested in applying for a KVCOG loan, reach out to our RLF Specialist, Maggie Camden, via email at  or  or via phone at (207) 453-4258 x 3 to discuss eligibility requirements and loan options.
