Philadelphia InStore Forgivable Loan
Philadelphia Department of Commerce
The InStore Forgivable Loan Program provides Philadelphia retail, food, and selected personal service businesses with forgivable loans of $50,000 to $100,000 to purchase equipment and make interior improvements to their commercial space. Administered by the City of Philadelphia's Department of Commerce and expanded in 2022 with funding from the Neighborhood Preservation Initiative, the program is designed to boost economic development on historically underserved commercial corridors. No payment or interest is collected on the loan for five years, and the full loan is forgiven at the end of that period as long as the business remains open and operating at the same location, effectively functioning as a grant for qualifying businesses. To apply, businesses must be located in a low-to-moderate income community on an eligible commercial corridor, registered and licensed with the city, and current on city business taxes. A limited number of projects are approved each year, with priority given to businesses that provide affordable goods and services to the community and increase activity in commercial corridors that have historically received limited private investment.
