Home - Michigan Business Connection

Credit Unions started Michigan Business Connection in 2004 as a way to share the costs and risks of member business lending. Shared costs means lower costs, both to the Credit Unions and the business borrowers. And shared risks means more money is available to be loaned and borrowed. Even in the darkest days of the Great Recession Michigan Credit Unions continued to lend to Michigan businesses.

We have helped our Credit Union partners successfully originate and manage more than $500 Million in business loans. That’s $500 Million dollars of capital for more than 1,000 Michigan based small businesses and commercial real estate owners. We handle the paperwork, underwriting and ongoing maintenance so more Michigan Credit Unions can help more Michigan business borrowers.

Is an SBA loan your best option?

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a government agency that helps lenders provide financing to small businesses to build our economy. The idea is to make loans available to business owners who might not qualify for traditional loan options by partnering with lenders and insuring the loans (decreasing the risk) in the event the business is not able to repay. This might be the best option for a business and it might not. At MBC we work with business owners every day and can help determine the best loan options for any situation. To help you get started MBC put together a FREE small business guide along with information on how MBC Credit Unions regularly BEAT the rates offered by bank SBA lenders.
