DEED New Programs Fall 2022
Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) launched new programs to assist small businesses:
Minnesota Loan Guarantee Program. The program will provide guarantees to enrolled lenders for up to 80% of principal on loans to eligible businesses. This will help mitigate risk so lenders can increase capital available to small businesses across Minnesota.
Growth Loan Fund: Launched in November 2022, this program provides direct loans to innovative seed- and early-stage technology businesses. Loans range from $100,000 to $400,000 and businesses can apply directly with DEED.
