What We Offer

We understand that behind every good business is a vision, and a need for capital. We assist in bringing that vision to reality by working with businesses, lenders, and economic development organizations.

Business Owners

We work with you, the business owner, to access the loan or grant to help fuel your dream.

Oftentimes entrepreneurs find it difficult to get the financing they need to grow.  SomerCor plays a critical role in filling the financing gap for those businesses that face barriers to traditional loans and for those that want to preserve working capital.  We facilitate an impactful range of financing options available for new and growing businesses in Illinois.

Those options include SBA 504, as well as grants administered for the City of Chicago’s Small Business Improvement Fund (SBIF) and Neighborhood Opportunity Fund (NOF) programs.  Each of these products has specific uses, requirements and advantages. It’s our role to help you navigate them, to select the most advantageous financing product (or products) for your business, and to guide you through the entire process.

Our ongoing engagement

We work closely with you and the lending institutions to facilitate and process SBA 504 loans. Our engagement with you doesn’t stop there though; we continue to service the SBA loans for their entire term. The loan services we offer include monthly payments, prepayments, guarantor and collateral releases, assumptions, subordinations and changes in your ACH account.

We’re the people you’ll call. We’ll be here for you.
