Art Business Loans

ART is a Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI), owned by its members – both borrowers and investorsIt was established in 1997 to help ‘alleviate poverty through enterprise' by lending to businesses unable to access any or all of the finance they needed from the banks and so enable them to create or preserve jobs.
