Shielding businesses, opening doors

The EDC-VC is a community-based lender and operates three separate loan funds that are available to Ventura County businesses.

The EDC-VC Revolving Loan Fund is a county-wide program that provides funding for a wide range of eligible businesses.  With loans ranging from $20,000 to more than $200,000, EDC-VC assists local businesses to ensure they thrive in a competitive economy. 

The EDC-VC Business Loan Fund is also offered by EDC-VC to help defense and defense-related businesses create commercial, civilian and nonmilitary applications for their technology or products. Loan funds assist dislocated defense-related workers too.

The six core business clusters covered by EDC-VC business loan funds include:

• Agriculture
• Biomedical
• Environmental
• High technology/communications
• Metals/machinery
• Plastics

The EDC-VC also works closely with the City of Ventura’s Business Assistance Program to provide funding for businesses located within the City of Ventura.  General loan funds, as well as funding for construction and compliance, are available.
