This $150 million New England-wide financing initiative, designed to reward businesses that contribute to job growth in the state, provides qualified businesses access to up to $10 million in financing at below-market financing of just 5.50% APR.  In exchange for the below market financing, these companies will create full-time jobs for New Hampshire residents within three years of completing their expansion projects.
