The City of Garden Grove is launching the Grow Garden Grove Fund, a new small business loan program designed to expand access to capital and support local economic growth.
"The Grow Garden Grove Fund reflects our commitment to supporting local businesses through strong partnerships and smart investment," said Mayor Stephanie Klopfenstein. "Working with Grow America allows us to connect Garden Grove entrepreneurs with capital and resources that help them succeed."
The program provides flexible financing options for small businesses that may not qualify for traditional bank loans. Eligible uses for loan funds include business expansion, working capital, equipment purchases and job creation.
"Grow America is proud to partner with the City of Garden Grove to help local businesses access the capital they need to thrive," said Andria Martinez. "Our mission is to expand economic opportunity by combining lending with hands-on entrepreneurial support, ensuring that businesses of all sizes have the chance to succeed."
The Grow Garden Grove Fund complements the City's existing Micro-Business Loan Program, which also originated from the City's partnership with Grow America to support emerging and very small businesses.
