REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

With its Pennsylvania state-wide SBA 504 lending charter, EDC Finance partners with leading not-for-profit economic development organizations to efficiently deliver SBA 504 loans to Adams (Adams County Economic Development Corporation), Cumberland (Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation), and York County (York County Economic Alliance) businesses.

EDC Finance provides structuring expertise, credit underwriting, and maintains the back-office functions related to closing and servicing SBA 504 loans outside of Lancaster County. The regional economic development partner provides a reliable, local loan origination point of contact and staff that will assist with application material and a local voice supporting the loan approval.

The EDC Finance Corporation Board of Directors sets the strategic direction for the organization and oversees the operations of the loan committee. The Board also is responsible for loan review and approval of financing requests above the loan committee’s designated authority. The all-volunteer Board serves multi-year terms and we thank them for their many hours of dedicated service.
