The Economic Development Authority (EDA) of Floyd County has announced a low-interest loan program for small businesses in Floyd County.
The “5 and 10” loan program will provide low interest loans of $5,000 or $10,000 to qualified small businesses.
The purpose of the Small Business Loan Pool program is to provide low-interest, fixed-asset financing to existing or new small businesses that locate to or expand Floyd County and which result in the creation or retention of jobs. (Here, "small business" is defined as a business having 9 or fewer employees.)
The type of financing is fixed-asset financing. The annual interest rate will be 2% for a 5-year term and 4% for a 10-year term.
Funding for the "5 and 10" Small Business Loan Pool is provided by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Business Enterprise program and the Economic Development Authority (EDA) of Floyd County.
