LOAN VERSE INVESTMENT
MODELS

Akiptan, being a Native CDFI, has the unique ability to develop loan programs that can truly benefit Natives in Agriculture. Akiptan is able to provide a traditional loan where a certain amount of money is borrowed and repaid back over several years. But, Akiptan is also able to provide a loan that allows for upfront capacity growth by “Investing” in your operation with an interest only payment option for several years before repaying the principal. This is what Akiptan calls the "Investment Option." The Investment Option was designed to provide an opportunity for initial capacity and development growth for up to five years due to the small, interest only payments. After the five years of investment time is completed, the loan is then switched over to a traditional loan with principal repayment starting. 

​
