The Dakota Certified Development Corporation has been working with the Small Business Administration's 504 Loan program since 1983. In 1996 the program began a new chapter. Incorporated as a separate organization, the Dakota CDC, a non-profit 501(c)(3) emerged as an organization with its own name, its own identity and an agenda that requires a statewide presence.

A second office was established in Bismarck to serve banks and businesses in Western North Dakota. Additional programs have been offered by adding: Rural Development's IRP loan program and the SBA MicroLoan program.

The mission of the Dakota CDC is to bring a variety of finance tools to North Dakota businesses, working in conjunction with financial institutions and economic development organizations in communities across the state.
