About This Opportunity
The Virginia Small Business Financing Authority (VSBFA) provides debt financing, including tax-exempt bonds and economic development loans, to small businesses and 501(c)(3) nonprofits in Virginia. This funding can be used for land acquisition, building construction, equipment purchases, permanent working capital, and owner-occupied commercial real estate. It aims to support economic development and job creation within the Commonwealth.
Eligibility Requirements
Application Guide
Selection criteria include qualifying as a small business or 501(c)(3) entity, creditworthiness, meeting federal tax code eligibility for bonds, and demonstrating economic benefit to the community through job creation/retention or attracting private capital. Project eligibility is also determined by federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) and VSBFA guidelines.
Projects under $3 million for bond financing may not be cost-effective due to transaction costs. Ensure your project aligns with federal tax code requirements and VSBFA/EDA economic development guidelines, particularly regarding job creation and community impact.
