Our History

In 1993, the Texas Legislature authorized the creation and funding of a statewide, non-profit, certified development company to insure the equitable distribution of federal funds across the state. The Texas Department of Commerce created Capital Certified Development Corporation, which was chartered as the "statewide" CDC by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) on January 21, 1993, with the mission to provide access to capital for Texas businesses.

Today the objective remains the same and the results have been profound. Since 1993, Capital CDC has been successful in providing over a quarter billion dollars in assistance to businesses throughout our service areas. Capital CDC has worked to get more approvals under the SBA's 504 Program than any other firm in Texas or New Mexico.

Through the combination of local, state and federal funding expertise Capital CDC gives each customer the opportunity to maximize its investments. Perhaps most importantly, Capital CDC insures that its clients can focus on the business that has made them successful.
