How they can help
The New Jersey Economic Development Authority helps businesses access financing, incentives, technical assistance, and other resources designed to strengthen New Jersey's economy. Small business owners can connect with NJEDA representatives to identify programs, funding opportunities, and support that may fit their current stage and growth plans.
Programs and services
NJEDA helps New Jersey businesses access financing, loans, incentives, technical assistance, and other economic-development resources. Programs support needs such as working capital, equipment, real estate, business expansion, redevelopment, and access to capital. Available programs and funding change throughout the year, so an NJEDA representative can help identify opportunities that fit your business.
Who This Is For
New Jersey businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, developers, and other organizations may qualify depending on the specific NJEDA program. Requirements vary by program and can include business location, revenue, number of employees, industry, project type, use of funds, and other eligibility criteria.
Your next step
Tell the NJEDA representative what type of business you operate, where it is located, how long you have been operating, your approximate revenue, and what you need funding or assistance for. Ask them to identify the programs you may qualify for and the documents you should prepare. Before leaving the table, determine your specific next step—such as visiting an application page, contacting an NJEDA representative, or connecting with a participating lender.
