Davis Loan Fund

Empowering Davis County Small Businesses The Davis Loan Fund for Economic Development provides strategic financing to viable, non-traditional businesses that may not yet qualify for conventional bank loans. Managed by Davis County on behalf of the Davis County Council of Governments (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1984), our mission is to stimulate job creation and strengthen the local economy.

Your Path to Bankability We don’t just provide capital; we provide a bridge. Our fund is specifically designed to help your business transition to traditional financing. Borrowers work closely with our Fund Manager to build "bankability" and prepare for future partnerships with commercial lenders.

Use of Funds

  • Working Capital & Inventory: Fuel your daily operations.
  • Equipment: Purchase necessary furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE).
  • Expansion: Funding for construction or gap financing.

Tax Increment Financing

Each Davis County city has a Redevelopment Agency (RDA) whose primary goal is to encourage development by providing incentives to develop new or expanding development projects. Each RDA works in close conjunction with the County to find Community Reinvestment Areas (CRA) that would not otherwise occur without assistance from a reinvestment of property taxes collectible in the CRA needed to install infrastructure, remove blight, and other obstacles on land with unusually high land costs.
