What Our Clients Say
LEAF is our cooperative’s brain trust
Lenders like LEAF aren’t typical bankers. They are like our cooperative’s brain trust. When LEAF gets involved, they first see if it’s a worthy project to finance. It’s a back and forth. I leaned on Josh (Director California/Senior Loan Officer) seeing what I should prioritize in the proforma. LEAF has the expertise and the knowledge. Organizations like LEAF have enough distance to tell us the hard truths with the knowledge to understands the industry.

LEAF gets it…We need money to invest
LEAF gets it. We need money to invest in training and hiring as we grow. LEAF is able to see the long-term and close the gap to help us get there.
