Consulting team in a strategy meeting
Consulting

Sound policies. Sharper deployment. Cleaner audits.

Advisory work that helps mission-driven lenders build the operational foundations of a healthy fund.

What we do

Capabilities.

Policies & procedures

SOPs that include credit, transaction and portfolio risk management, servicing, collections and governance policies that meet federal and industry standards.

Deployment strategy

Capital and technical assistance mapping, pipeline building — capital actually moving.

Portfolio governance

Governance structures, portfolio management, reporting frameworks funders expect.

Marketing plans

Reach the borrowers aligned with your funding objectives.

Additional consulting services

Tax abatements, CDFI certification preparedness, venture capital, community development, infrastructure, renewable energy — application prep, policy development, and risk management for new or expanded offerings.
