Black Business Loan Program

Introduction
(www.FloridaJobs.org/BBLP)

The Black Business Loan Program provides loans, loan guarantees, or investments through Loan Administrators to black business enterprises that cannot otherwise obtain capital through conventional lending institutions but who could otherwise compete successfully in the private sector.

If the Black Business Loan Program is appropriated funds in a fiscal year by the Florida Legislature, FloridaCommerce will distribute an equal amount of the appropriation to the Loan Administrators that have been certified for that fiscal year.
