Small Business Lending Plan Guide
for Community Development Loan Funds
The U.S. Department of the Treasury intends that funding provided through the Small Business Lending Fund (the Fund) to
Community Development Loan Funds (CDLFs) be used to support small business lending (as defined in Summary of Preferred
Terms for CDLF Financing) in a manner that is consistent with safe and sound operations. Each CDLF applying to participate in
the Fund must submit a small business lending plan, which will include the increase in qualified small business lending (as
defined in the Summary of Preferred Terms for CDLF Financing) that your CDLF expects to achieve two years after the
investment.
For general questions, please call the Small Business Lending Fund information line at 888‐832‐1147 (Monday‐Friday,
9:00 AM‐7:00 PM ET). For communications pertaining to a specific CDLF, please email [email protected], a
Treasury email address.
How to Complete a Small Business Lending Plan
The lending plan should:
1. Address the Needs of Small Businesses
The lending plan should describe how your CDLF intends to use funding from the Small Business Lending Fund to
address the needs of small businesses in the communities it serves. Your CDLF should provide a description of the basis
for its lending goals and how it intends to achieve these goals.
The lending plan should explain why the projected increase in small business lending is reasonable in the context of the
size of your CDLF and the market it serves. To the extent practicable, please include a description of the types of loans
anticipated and customers served.
2. Specify the Projected Increase in Small Business Lending
The lending plan should include the increase in qualified small business lending that your CDLF expects to achieve
two years after the investment. It is acceptable to provide a projected range. In general, for CDLF loans to qualify for
small business lending:
‐the original principal and commitment amount of the loan must be $10 million or less, and
‐the loan must not be to a business with more than $50 million in revenues.
The lending plan is not intended to be an official business plan. As a result, Treasury does not require the submission
of a pro forma income statement or balance sheet.
3. Provide for Community Outreach
The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 requires CDLFs participating in the Small Business Lending Fund to provide
outreach and advertising describing the availability and application process for receiving small business loans.
