Sometimes getting started or expanding a small business takes more money than you have. And sometimes, owners of new or very small businesses don't qualify for a loan from a bank. The LUEA Microenterprise Loan Program may be a source to help you achieve your goals. Our loans extend credit to new and existing small businesses who can't access usual sources of credit. The academy is offered twice a year in the spring and fall.
Scholarships are available to zone residents and zone business owners.
