Cedar Rapids Micro Loan
A micro loan is a small, short-term loan for businesses. Micro loans were developed to help small businesses grow, but they can also
help businesses looking to make minor changes to further their business goals.

Cedar Rapids developed the MICRO loan program, administered by ECICOG, to assist businesses in the Cedar Rapids city limits.​
​
ECICOG is an Equal Opportunity Lender
