Pursuit

At Pursuit, our mission is simple: to provide businesses with affordable loans and resources so that they can reach higher, transform and grow. This transformation may start with an individual borrower, but ultimately extends into the broader community, taking shape as new employment opportunities, economic development, and positive change.
 

Our mission guides our lending. When you work with us, you’ll have access to a community-focused lender that is 100% invested in providing the best possible loan for you now, and in the future.
 

Our work has grown to include Pursuit CDC (formerly known as The 504 Company), a Certified Development Company and Pursuit Community Finance (formerly known as Excelsior Growth Fund), a U.S. Treasury Certified Community Development Financial Institution. As a family of organizations working together under the Pursuit brand, we’ve made it easier than ever for businesses to find the right financing.
 

Whether you’re pursuing your big ideas and bold goals, or recovering from a crisis, we’re here with the loans and resources to help you move forward. From disaster relief funding and working capital loans to commercial real estate financing, Pursuit has what you need to reach higher.
 

We don’t just make loans, we make loans possible. Pursuit balances speed and diligence to ensure you’re getting the right loan for your business—now, and for the future.
