EDA capitalises revolving loan funds operated by local economic development organisations, which then lend to small businesses that cannot get conventional credit. Individual loan sizes are set by the local RLF operator, commonly $25,000-$500,000.

Quick — mostly identity and bank details.

Who can apply

Terms, rates and eligibility are set by the local RLF operator within EDA rules; loans generally require job creation or retention commitments and evidence that conventional credit is unavailable.

How to apply

  1. Identify the EDA-funded RLF operator covering your county (often the regional council of governments or economic development district)
  2. Apply to that operator with a business plan and financials
