Looking for a flexible loan program to help finance your business?
The Revolving Economic Development and Initiative (REDI) Fund is designed to help promote job growth in South Dakota. This low-interest loan fund is available to start-up firms, businesses that are expanding or relocating, and local economic development corporations.
The REDI Fund provides up to 45 percent of a project’s total cost. Companies should secure interim (construction) financing, matching funds for permanent financing and be able to provide a 10 percent minimum equity contribution before applying to the Board of Economic Development for a REDI Fund loan.
