A Straightforward Approach

The application and approval process for LAAD’s financing is thorough and efficient, yet personalized. It relies heavily on getting to know potential clients and their unique history and goals.

Throughout this process, LAAD officials remain keenly aware that although loans are given to businesses, they are first and foremost given to people. Ultimately, it is LAAD’s belief that people, not the numbers nor the project, have the greatest effect on business success or failure.

Lending Flexibility

LAAD provides medium and long-term loans and, to a lesser extent, crop financing, to family-owned or managed small and medium-sized businesses. Most loans range from US$200,000 to US$4 million, and emphasis is placed on financing companies that export part or all of their production.

LAAD loans normally fund the purchase of fixed assets for agricultural production and processing, as well as permanent working capital, debt refinancing, and vertical integration.
