As part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), signed into law by President Biden in 2021, Congress has allocated $10 billion to increase small businesses access to equity and debt capital through the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI 2.0) program. Administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury, the funds are distributed to each state, territory, and Tribal jurisdiction. EDD is administering New Mexico’s SSBCI 2.0 allocation.
To support business growth in New Mexico and to create and retain jobs, EDD encourages banks and other financial institutions to make loans to small businesses in underserved markets. EDD can pledge cash to cover a collateral shortfall of a loan to enable financing that otherwise might not be available to a small business.
No. Collateral properties must be at least 51% owner occupied.
