Oregon Credit Enhancement Fund

The Oregon Credit Enhancement Fund is a loan insurance tool available to lenders to help businesses needing extra security to obtain financing.

The fund provides guarantees for working capital or fixed-asset bank loans. The program:

  • is available for manufacturing, production and processing companies with fewer than 200 employees;
  • assists businesses in distressed areas and businesses that use proceeds to clean up a brownfield site; and
  • funds can be used for real property, buildings, machinery and equipment, working capital and export financing.
