Working with Momentus Capital as a small business was good experience, very thorough and informative. Specifically, the loan officer Iman Cotton was amazing! She fully explained the process, standard timeline, requirements and checked in through the process to make sure we stayed on track. If there were lingering questions, or lack of understanding on our part, Iman was quick to respond and held our hand through the process to make sure all documentation was provided and in order. We would definitely work with Iman again. She made a nerve wracking experience go as smoothly as possible.

I'd like to thank the team I worked with at the CDC to get my business financed. From the beginning Iman Cotton gave me precise direction and instructions that made the process easier. Illiana Farias did a great job. Special thanks to Fanny Tilley for taking my calls after hours and talking me through all the questions I had coming towards the end of the process. I highly recommend them. Hopefully, you get Iman to take your case at the beginning.

Where should I start ! My entire experience with CDC Loans has been an incredible journey ! I like to thank Iman Coton and her entire team who put in their hard work from the first email and texts and phone call to all the emails. Mrs Coton walked me through the entire process. A very detailed process and we received the amazing news about my approval ! I watched a couple of her YouTube videos as well. I wanted to get a bit more familiar with her overall take and rundown of how the sba loans work as this was my first time ! I put my trust in her and I’m sure she did the same for me! I’m grateful that there are humans like her who are straight forward and love what they do. It’s very Very hard to find this, these days ! Iman thank YOU and your wonderful team who worked tirelessly for me. I’m humbled. Will never forget this amazing experience ! God bless. I highly recommend CDC loans for anyone who is either thinking about a start up business or like me purchasing a business. Go for it with CDC loans.

I had the pleasure of working with Iman at CDC Small Business Finance and I can't thank her enough for everything she’s done for me and my business. She helped me get my very first start-up business loan to open my Residential Care Facility something I had dreamed about for years but didn’t know how to make happen. From day one, Iman guided me through every step with so much patience, encouragement, and care. She made the process feel easy and stress-free, even when it got overwhelming at times. What truly stands out about Iman is that she believes in her clients. She celebrates your wins with you and genuinely wants to see you succeed. Because of her help and dedication, I was not only able to open my first facility but was also able to secure another loan to expand and open my second one. Iman is the type of loan officer who goes above and beyond, she’s knowledgeable, kind, and always has your best interest at heart. I’m so grateful to have worked with her and would recommend CDC to anyone looking to start or grow their business. Thank you, Iman and CDC for believing in me and helping turn my vision into reality!

They deserve no stars ⭐️ at all. Dont waste your time and energy here. Worse place for loans that you will never get (unless you are making great money with your business already and want to pay interest to them as well) They will tell you simple requirements in the beginning, but end up asking for the whole world, all types of paperwork, every guarantors, invoices and run your credit (not to mention after seeing business plans, projections as well which is fine with me) but end up giving some vague decline response at the end. Another predatory lending institution that looks for fat juicy profits from large companies. Not to help normal PROFITABLE well established good credit small businesses. Worst experience I have had with any bank or institution ever and I have dealt with a lot. They sugarcoat it as they are here to help small business with not much requirement so they can have access to goverment funds as well. I were you I wouldnt waste my time energy, or credit with this place. And Im never the one to leave long paragraph bad reviews but this place deserves it. Good luck!
