Short-term Loans and Revolving Lines of Credit (CAPLines)<br />

CAPLines is an umbrella program under which the SBA helps small businesses meet their short-term<br />

and cyclical working capital needs. The program is a revolving line of credit that gives small businesses<br />

access to short-term credit <strong>for</strong> up to ten years (except <strong>for</strong> Builders CAPLine which is 5 years). There are<br />

four short-term working-capital loan programs <strong>for</strong> small businesses under the CAPLines umbrella.<br />

These programs are Seasonal, Contract, Builders, and Working <strong>Capital</strong> Line of Credit Program.<br />

Community Adjustment & Investment Program (CAIP)<br />

The Community Adjustment & Investment Program (CAIP) was created to help communities suffering<br />

job losses due to changing trade patterns following the North American Free Trade Agreement<br />

(NAFTA). The North American Development Bank (NADBANK) has partnered with the SBA and the U.S.<br />

Department of Agriculture to make credit available to businesses in eligible communities to create or<br />

retain jobs. To be eligible, business applicants must be located in a CAIP-eligible community and must<br />

be able to demonstrate that the loan will be used to create or preserve at least one job <strong>for</strong> every<br />

$70,000 in federally guaranteed loans they receive over a 24-month period. NADBANK pays the SBA<br />

guaranty fee <strong>for</strong> approved loans.<br />

<strong>Businesses</strong> located or being established in the following North Carolina counties are eligible <strong>for</strong> the<br />

program as of 5-2013: Edgecombe, Halifax, Mitchell, Richmond, Robeson, Ruther<strong>for</strong>d, Scotland and<br />

Wilson<br />
