Welcome Borrowers & Lenders

Our Mission

To make capital available to small businesses by working in conjunction with banks to provide SBA 504 loans and other economic development loans. The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) has the solution to certain small business financing needs. Programs that provide reasonable rates, lower down-payments, and longer repayment terms on loans for eligible small businesses are now available through the EDC. Up to 90 percent financing is available for fixed assets such as land, buildings, equipment and lease hold improvements. The broad-reaching program encourages bank to make loans that they might not ordinarily make on their own. 

If you have been unable to get long-term financing at reasonable rates, then the EDC may have a loan for you.       Call 770-536-7839 today!
