Small Dollar Loan (Signature Loan) is a loan that is set at a fixed rate. Uses of the loan are flexible and can include emergency needs, paying off higher debt, purchasing a larger item, and a credit builder. Financial education and credit counseling are required upon approval of the loan and required during the life of the loan.

The mission of Northern Shores Community Development, Inc. is to assist primarily American Indian communities and other underserved Michigan residents with training, business incubation, and access to capital. Loans will be made to further this mission. Loans may be made to eligible applicants who demonstrate the financial ability to repay the loan and enough assets to collateralize the loan. Loans may be made to eligible applicants who reside in NSCDI’s defined service area. Other loan products may be developed from time to time based on funding sources and approval of the Board of Trustees. Exemptions may be made if it furthers the goals of NSCDI. Eligibility is determined by policy passed by the Board of Trustees.
