Regional Economic Development Center — Local services in Raymond

I had a lot of fright and uncertainty of starting a new business because of the limited funds, lack of entrepreneur knowledge and the know how to feel confident enough to operate or market my business properly. I had the recipes, the image and some of branding thought out but everything came back to money. I sought out for help and got introduced to Regional Economic Development Center. I proposed my ideas, explaining my mission and they could see my passion, they believed in me and helped open the door to create this dream. From that day on I felt confident. I had a team behind me who helped create my website, design my logo, set goals, and get me the funding to complete my project when banks turned the other way in fear of failure. I gained the trust and created a bond. More than 3 years later REDC still is there for me. They follow up to see how everything is going with business and in my family. When the world was disrupted by COVID-19 they immediately found me support and got me a grant and forgiveness loans that I would’ve otherwise missed out on. I can’t say enough good things about REDC. We work wonderful together and thanks to them I’m pursuing my dream. Thank you REDC...

The Regional Economic Development Center (REDC) has been the most amazing resource for my small business. Not only did they help me secure a small business loan with fair, manageable terms, but they also helped me get out of a high-interest loan that was holding me back. Their support came at just the right time and made all the difference.

Beyond the financial help, REDC provided hands-on guidance throughout the entire process. They assisted me in writing a thorough business plan and even helped design a logo that I love! Their team was patient, responsive, and genuinely cared about my success.

If you're a small business owner looking for real support—not just funding—REDC is the place to go. I can’t thank them enough for their dedication and the personal attention they gave to...
