Southern California-Based Bank and Local CDFI Partner to Help Small Businesses Amid COVID-19 Pandemic
GRAND TERRACE, Calif. - Californer -- AmPac Business Capital announces that it has been selected to receive $500,000 from Pacific Western Bank to fund loans designated to support small business expansion in the Inland Empire region and the eastern border of Los Angeles County, including the city of Pomona.
AmPac was chosen to receive the investment because of its strong track record of lending in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The community lender has been particularly resourceful during the pandemic, assisting clients with PPP loans and providing much-needed loans to businesses impacted by COVID-19. In just 90 days, AmPac has funded more than $2.2 Million in PPP and Riverside County COVID-19 relief loans for over 140 small businesses. The average loan size for all of these loans is less than $20,000.

It will go a long way to help us to continue the work we have done for many years, serving small businesses and targeting underserved communities, including women and minority owned businesses," said Hilda Kennedy, Founder and President of AmPac Business Capital.
