I work at a CDC — Certified Development Corporation. We have been encouraged to blog . . . how do you blog about something no one knows exists unless you are specifically looking for it? How can someone search for something they do not know exists. . . . here in lies my problem and my mission. I am proud to say “my” CDC, Michigan Certified Development Corporation (MCDC)is ranked as the number one CD in the state and among the top 15 in the country. MCDC is a non-profit corporation certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide SBA 504 financing throughout Michigan. With projects in nearly 90% of Michigan’s counties MCDC is the leading provider of SBA financing in the state of Michigan and is recognized as a leader in Michigan and nationally. MCDC was the first CDC in Michigan to be designated Premier SBA lender. This elite designation is awarded to less than 10% of all CDC’s nationally and allows the MCDC to step into the role of the SBA in approving loan transactions.
