Financial Plus Credit Union just landed the Michigan Certified Development Corporation‘s 2025 Credit Union of the Year award.
And this isn’t their first rodeo—it’s actually their third win in the past five years. At this point, they might need a bigger trophy case.
The award isn’t just a shiny plaque for the lobby. It recognizes Financial Plus’s serious commitment to backing local businesses and fueling economic growth through the SBA 504 Loan Program. In other words, they’re walking the walk when it comes to helping Michigan businesses thrive.
What Makes This Award Matter
The Michigan Certified Development Corporation isn’t handing out participation trophies here. As a Certified Development Company authorized by the Small Business Administration way back in 1982, MCDC knows a thing or two about small business financing. When they say a credit union is doing exceptional work, it means something.
“We’re honored to receive this recognition from MCDC,” said Nathan Adams, Director of Business Services at Financial Plus Credit Union. “Helping local businesses grow and invest in their future is one of the most meaningful parts of what we do. This award reflects the dedication our team brings to guiding members through the SBA lending process and finding solutions that help businesses move forward with confidence.”
How Financial Plus Helps Businesses Grow
Through the SBA 504 Loan Program, Financial Plus offers long-term, fixed-rate financing that helps small businesses snag the big-ticket items they need—think real estate and equipment. The kind of stuff that takes a business from “making it work” to “making it happen.”
With competitive rates and terms that don’t require a law degree to understand, Financial Plus has helped Michigan businesses expand their operations, add jobs, and strengthen the communities they call home. It’s the kind of impact that ripples outward, touching not just business owners but entire neighborhoods.
So here’s to Financial Plus Credit Union and their third win in five years. When you’re consistently recognized for lifting up local entrepreneurs, you’re clearly doing something right.
