Financing Solutions for Carbon County Small Businesses
Looking to expand, launch, or strengthen your business? The Carbon Chamber & Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC) is here to help.
We administer several loan programs designed specifically to support Carbon County businesses at every stage of growth, including:
-
Small Business Revolving Loan Program – Flexible financing to meet everyday business needs.
-
New Business Loan Program – Start-up funding to help entrepreneurs turn ideas into reality.
-
Small Business Expansion Loan Program – Capital to scale operations, add jobs, or invest in new opportunities.
In addition, the CCEDC partners with the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) to offer PIDA loans, providing long-term, low-interest financing for eligible projects.
Our team works closely with business owners to find the right financing solution and guide you through the process.
At the CCEDC, we recognize that no two businesses are the same — that's why we're here to help you find the financing solution that fits yours.
Uncertain where to start? Our team is here to help you identify the right financing for your needs. We have created one application for all loan programs - and we'll work with you to make sure whatever program you land with fits your needs.
