Applications Are Now Open for the Portland Loan Fund!

Access to capital can open doors, but funding alone doesn’t solve every business challenge.

Many business owners receive financing and still struggle with budgeting, cash flow, financial planning, and making the funds last. Without the right support, financial challenges can continue even after a loan is approved.

That’s why NuProject offers more than affordable financing. Eligible Portland cannabis businesses will also receive financial coaching and hands-on technical assistance to help them understand their finances, manage their loan responsibly, and make informed decisions for long-term growth.

Loan highlights:

💰 Loan amounts from $25,000 to $50,000
📉 6.99% interest rate
📅 Flexible repayment terms
🤝 One-on-one financial coaching and hands-on assistance

Whether you’re purchasing equipment, expanding your operations, improving cash flow, or preparing for your next stage of growth, we’ll be there to support you, not just with funding, but with the guidance to use it effectively.
