The Community Development Loan Fund provides gap financing to area Wisconsin businesses. A gap is the difference between what a private lender is willing to lend, and what a borrower needs. Typically, RRLF money is long-term, has low down payments, and carries lower interest rates than traditional private financing. RRLF’s do not compete with banks for projects, but rather complement them and other programs in a total financial structure. TYPES OF LOANS AVAILABLE There are three basic loan types: 1.
