The City of Roseville does not provide Small Business Loans.  Small Business Loans are provided through banks that specialize in such loans.  A list of participating banks can be found at the Small Business Administration website at http://www.sba.gov/index.html
The Sierra Economic Development District (SEDD) provides micro loans (loans up to $35,000) for qualifying businesses.  For more information about loans through SEDD, please visit their website at http://www.sedd.org/

You can find detailed information about fees in the Commercial/Industrial Fee Booklet.  This booklet explains what fees apply to projects and how to calculate them based on your specific project.  If you still have questions after reviewing the booklet, you can request a fee estimate specifically for your project at NO CHARGE, simply by filling out a request form.

Roseville has an excellent labor force.  If traditional methods for finding qualified employees have not worked (newspaper and trade publication ads), there are other resources available.
