New and early-stage business owners often face challenges securing financing from traditional lenders. That's where our Micro Enterprise Loan Program comes in. 💡

John was inspired to start Rootd Modular after getting involved with the Kingston Housing Task Force. His business helps facilitate the creation of more housing, by providing site feasibility studies to identify potential obstacles to permitting in advance.

He used our Micro Enterprise Loan Program to purchase photogrammetry equipment for these studies. Here, you can see the scanner in use at a former bungalow colony in Ellenville, which the owner hopes to restore into additional housing.
