It's Our Job to Help You Grow Your Business
		Welcome to BEDCO's Website! The Business Enterprise Development Corporation is a community development financial institution headquartered in Berlin, New Hampshire. Started in 1979 in the City of Berlin for the purpose of providing business loans in that community, BEDCO expanded its scope and market area in 1997 and now includes all of Carroll, Coos, and Grafton Counties. We work with banks and other economic development partners to support community development lending throughout northern New Hampshire. (See Service Area Map) Is your business: Just Starting out? Planning to expand or to increase employment? Unable to get conventional bank financing due to a lack of adequate equity, down payment, or track record? Then BEDCO may be able to help! BEDCO makes direct loans to small businesses and also participates with banks and other community development lenders to support business startups and expansions. BEDCO's lending often serves as near equity capital because we will frequently accept a junior position on your collateral behind the banks. We are committed to building the region's many assets. These assets - human, institutional/social, cultural/historical, environmental, and financial - are viewed as the key to building a real competitive advantage for the region's communities and its Business Enterprises. Our Mission Statement To diversify and expand the economy of Northern New Hampshire by providing credit, capital, advocacy, and technical assistance to help business develop and grow and to create strategies to support economic development efforts.
