<br /> For business start-up and expansion projects, Initiative Foundation Business Financing
<br /> Investments meet the "gap" between the financing a local lender is able to provide and
<br /> the equity the owner is able to contribute. By offering gap financing to supplement owner
<br /> equity and taking a position as a subordinate lender, Initiative Foundation business financing
<br /> programs are a tool to help lending institutions better serve local businesses.
