**October SBA 504 Update 📢** Despite recent rate increases, the SBA 504 Loan Program remains a valuable financing option for businesses investing in commercial real estate and equipment. #SBA504 #UCEDC #SmallBusinessLending #CommercialRealEstate #BusinessGrowth

40 years ago, UCEDC looked very different. As Adam Farrah prepares to retire at the end of this year, we’re looking back at where it all began and the moments that helped shape the organization we are today. Our series begins with Adam’s first chapter at UCEDC.

Our work in Hudson County has always been about partnership. Working alongside @HudsonEDC, UCEDC has helped local entrepreneurs access funding, training, and support designed to help their businesses grow and thrive. We’re proud of what this partnership has made possible.
