San Diego Subcontractor Financing Program
Capital for certified diverse suppliers in or expanding to San Diego County
Need capital or cash flow to execute on contracts?
Could your business make more money if you had additional capital? Are you a contractor or subcontractor who has experienced credit denial that has prevented you from expanding, hiring, and executing on projects?
We see tremendous opportunity to help small businesses grow and access corporate and government procurement spend as they implement supplier diversity programs. Though exciting, we know it’s not always easy to navigate the bid process and have all the requirements lined up.
Mission Driven Finance provides small businesses access to flexible funding to help you grow and compete for municipal and corporate contracts. We want to ensure that access to capital isn’t one of the things preventing your business from landing—and executing—a big bid.
