Growth Financing DBL has a long history of providing small business loans and has exceeded $1.2 billion in project impact, with NMTC financing totaling $60 million across allocations. This indicates continued capacity for leveraged financing programs and opportunities to expand NMTC-eligible projects in their footprint.

Strategic Partnerships Partnership with Goldman Sachs and a track record as the first ND CDFI with NMTC allocations suggest strong potential for co-financing, advisory services, and access to capital markets partnerships that can be leveraged to broaden client opportunities.

Regional Footprint Operations across North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Minnesota position DBL as a regional hub for small business lending, enabling cross-market solutions, referral networks, and scalable service delivery for growth-oriented firms in multiple states.

Executive Hiring Recent and ongoing hires in business development, marketing, and loan servicing indicate active capacity-building in outreach, client acquisition, and operational excellence, presenting opportunities to engage DBL's leadership in joint marketing, sponsorships, or shared client programs.

Digital & Tech Enablement The tech stack includes AWS, WordPress, Shopify, and analytics tools, signaling readiness for digital marketing partnerships, lead generation programs, and fintech collaboration to streamline application processes or borrower onboarding for community-focused financing.
