Resources for business

There are many challenges associated with starting or expanding a business, from finding adequate financing to attracting skilled workers. Thankfully, Minnesota has great resources for businesses.
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) can help mitigate some of the typical risks. DEED can assist businesses with obtaining tax credits, help offset worker training costs, provide general guidance on financing options and more.
Companies bringing in good jobs may qualify for special financing programs. Assistance programs also exist for companies that employ veterans or for minority-owned businesses.
