Financing for small businesses isn’t always easy to obtain.  Traditional financing resources may find it difficult to meet individual business development needs.  The Bayou-River Region Loan Program is a finance program operated by SCPDC and is specifically created to fill the gaps in financing not provided by conventional means such as direct loans or those initiated by local banks. 

For assistance, please contact the Loan Department by phone at 985-655-1051 or email businessloans@scpdc.org.
