Are you ready to take your business to the next level in 2025? Make this year the year your business reaches its full potential with FSC First! As the premier lending partner in the region, we provide creative financing solutions to drive growth and sustainability in the local economy. With a commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, we are here to support your business growth every step of the way.
As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we aim to make affordable financial products and services accessible to small businesses. This mission not only helps individuals but also strengthens the local economy by encouraging growth.
We take pride in offering 13 distinct loan products to support business creation, expansion, and sustainability. The loans are a product of public-private partnerships between a consortium of participating banks, Prince George’s County, the State of Maryland, and FSC First. From start-up capital to funding for scaling operations, our diverse range of financing options ensures that every entrepreneur can find a solution that fits their goals. Our veteran financial advisors bring years of expertise to guide you through the process, providing personalized advice and strategies to ensure you apply for a loan that aligns with your business goals.
“At FSC First, we take pride in being more than a lender! While we deploy expertise in providing access to capital and technical support through our Level Up program, we ultimately make strong contributions to the local economies in the State of Maryland. We create jobs, business expansion, growth, and increased profitability to our clients. We build long-lasting relationships with our clients and immediately react to their short-term and long-term business needs by tailoring our strategies to their needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach,” said Steward Smith, Vice President, Business Development at FSC First.
In addition to funding, we offer educational opportunities and financial counseling services to equip business leaders at every stage of growth. By partnering with knowledgeable experts, we provide sessions on using Live Plan, bookkeeping, financing, business management, and growth strategies. These resources are crucial for businesses to navigate financial challenges and capitalize on growth opportunities.
When businesses succeed, communities flourish. FSC First believes in your vision and the transformative power of innovation to create opportunities that extend beyond individual achievements. We’re investing in a brighter future for our region by rallying behind entrepreneurs and small business owners. Together, we can drive economic growth, create jobs, and build stronger, more resilient communities.
