Financing Is Complicated. We Make It Simple

Navigating state grants and federal loans can feel like a full-time job. You should not have to do it alone, especially when you are also managing timelines, staffing, and equipment needs. Whether you are a startup preparing for your next phase of growth or an established plant looking to upgrade with equipment financing, we help you identify options that align with your goals, project scope, and timeline.

Instead of sending you a list of programs and expecting you to sort them out, we guide the conversation, coordinate the right contacts, and help you understand the next best steps based on what you are building in Cumberland County. A quick call can save hours of searching and help you move from “research” to a real plan.

How We Guide You Through the Process

Securing financing can be difficult, but we are here to help. We provide expert guidance and coordination for:

  • Grant programs: We help you identify and pursue relevant state and federal grant opportunities, including the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) and Multimodal Transportation Fund (MTF), so you can offset eligible project costs without getting lost in the details.
  • Cumberland Capital + Connection loans (CCC): We coordinate customized financing packages with local lenders, designed to preserve working capital through flexible terms, lower equity requirements, and low, fixed interest rates. When the right fit exists, this could include an equipment loan to support plant upgrades and expansion.
  • Business development: We guide you through site selection and development support and coordinate with local and regional development agencies to keep your expansion moving. This is a practical form of manufacturing business consulting focused on execution rather than theory.
  • Connections: You do not have to build your growth plan alone. We connect you with partners for business planning, workforce development and training support, and technical assistance, including specialized manufacturing consulting when your project calls for it.
