the untold story
Every day, hard working people with the abilities to become great entrepreneurs of tomorrow, are stopped dead in their tracks due to lack of funding. Whether it’s a low credit score or poor cashflows, they need a second chance to get their lives, homes, and businesses together.

A pioneer and visionary, someone ahead of her time who took a leap of faith to open doors of opportunities for the underserved. SCCDFI was birthed out of the frustration of not being able to help her neighbors due to traditional financial institution restrictions or other predatory money service businesses dominating the market.
