CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. — Partner Community Capital (PCAP), a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), has been designated as a new SBA Microloan lender in West Virginia, expanding opportunities for small businesses to access flexible, affordable financing paired with hands-on support.

With a mission rooted in helping businesses overcome barriers and achieve what others may see as out of reach, PCAP combines lending with tailored advisory services to support entrepreneurs in underserved and rural communities.

“Being named an SBA Microloan lender is a powerful step forward in our work to make the impossible possible for entrepreneurs across West Virginia,” said Marten Jenkins, President & CEO of PCAP. “Access to capital is only part of the equation. By pairing lending with hands-on support, we’re helping small businesses not just open their doors, but build something that lasts.”

Jenkins added, “Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, especially in rural areas. This designation allows us to meet entrepreneurs with flexible financing and guidance to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.

Through the SBA Microloan Program, PCAP will offer small-dollar loans alongside technical assistance, helping entrepreneurs start, grow, and sustain their businesses.

“Too often, great ideas stall because traditional financing isn’t accessible,” Jenkins said. “At PCAP, we specialize in stepping into those gaps, bringing capital, creativity, and partnership together to move businesses forward.”
