Local seafood industry businesses may qualify for small business loans through the Apalachee Regional Planning Council (ARPC). Created in the late 1980s, the goal of the loan program is to expand the economy in Franklin County and provide opportunities for small businesses in our area.
The loan could be used for equipment, gear, or even working capital. The program does not support construction projects, including permitting costs, repairs, new builds, or other construction-related projects.
Prepare your business plan or a detailed idea and email Matthew Vossler at MVossler@arpc.org to schedule a meeting and learn more about the program.
