Responsible Small Biz Lending
Bill AB 2314 – Responsible Small Business Lending, introduced by Assembly Member Cottie Petrie-Norris was amended last Thursday. The bill would require any commercial financing products that leverage state funding—such as loan guarantee programs—to include several financing rights and protections for borrowers.
CAMEO and many of our colleagues have led in California’s responsible lending efforts with the passage of SB 1235 in 2018 and we support this bill. Please join us by submitting a letter of support for AB 2314.

Impact Notes with ICA
Join us on April 13, 2022 at 10:30am PT for Impact Notes with ICA.
The ICA Impact Note is an innovative investment structure that incentivize businesses to create measurable social impact outcomes: job creation, employer-paid health benefits, equity ownership and profit distribution for workers, and workforce diversity. As each of these milestones are met, the valuation cap and discount are adjusted by a predetermined amount, shifting financial returns for the investor into social returns for the community.
