Small & Mid-Size Business OwnersSmall & Mid-Sized Business

 

The EDA has a long history of supporting growth in New Jersey for businesses of all sizes, but support of small to mid-sized businesses has always been one of our top priorities. With the creative and versatile loan solutions available to small to mid-sized businesses through the EDA, now is an opportune time to contact EDA to determine if any of our programs may be the right fit for your small to mid-sized business needs.

Premier Lender Program

The Premier Lender Program creates new opportunities for small businesses and EDA’s lending partners by providing new, low-cost financing opportunities with faster turnaround.

If your small business is discussing potential financing with one of EDA’s Premier Lender banks, EDA’s participation or guarantee of a portion of the financing can lower the cost of borrowing for your business.
