PEDCO is actively pursuing funding to create a small business loan program.
PEDCO now has funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to fund business loans. Loan funds would be available to businesses at a low interest rate and could be used for start-up costs, operating capital, equipment purchase, etc. You must be a resident of Nebraska and live in a rural area, as defined by the USDA. Omaha, Lincoln and Sioux City Metro areas do not qualify under this program. All other areas of the service area are eligible for this program.
If you would like to be added to our mailing list to receive notifications about the loan program please email Larry Loucks, lloucks@pedco-ne.org.
Another benefit for Native American business owners is that PEDCO now has a business directory on its new website. Business owners interested in having their business listing on the website should submit: name of their business, type of business, business address and phone number, contact person for their business, business contact email address, and website (if applicable).
