There are presently, over 230 counties in 29 states which qualify for CAIP.
CAIP or Community Adjustment and Investment Programs can be used with 7(a) and 504 loan programs.
The funds received go to the reduction of borrower costs. To be eligible for a 7(a) loan, one job must be created for every $70,000 SBA guarantee. A 504 loan requires one job creation for every $50,000 SBA guarantee.
This program isn’t a typical grant for small businesses. The money doesn’t go directly to the small business in the form of a direct grant, but instead in the form of loans. There are lower interest rates, guarantees and/or collateral for such small business loans offered federally.
