Rutland Economic Development Corporation (REDC) is a non-profit, community- based organization whose mission is to encourage and enhance business success in Rutland County. To help fulfill this mission, REDC provides fixed rate loans through its Revolving Loan Fund. REDC's Revolving Loan Fund provide small businesses with loans of between $5,000 - $75,000. As loans are repaid, they are reinvested by REDC in the form of new loans to other businesses. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BACK TO TOP Who Qualifies for REDC's Revolving Loan Fund?
Funds are available for both existing or start-up businesses. REDC's program is unique because it can finance businesses that are having difficulty obtaining traditional financing due to the unproven nature of their business, their small size or unconventional product line. REDC works extensively with local banks and financial institutions, often serving as the "gap financing piece" to help meet the unmet funding needs of area businesses. Loans are available for a wide range of initiatives, from working capital to installing new machinery or buying land and/or buildings. REDC is an equal opportunity lender, with funds available on a non-discriminatory basis. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BACK TO TOP What Can REDC's Revolving Loan Fund Be Used For?
