Assessment of a business to determine if assistance is warranted is done through regular visitations and discussions with a Loan/Project Officer. The assistance is designed support the development and success of a new or existing business by building capacity in that business in specialized areas. Focus of such assistance will be based on the FNDECCU’s appraisal of the borrower or the borrower’s expressed desires for assistance in specific areas.

The service is made available to all members. Members applying for business loans incur a Technical Assistance fee. We therefore recommend that members make use of the resources available to them.
