VEDA is able to do its work because of the relationships and assistance we get from our partners. Working partnerships cultivated over decades – with Vermont’s commercial lenders and with state and federal finance agencies – help us do our part to help Vermont businesses grow and create jobs.
Our regional, state and federal partners bring a vast array of resources to the table in helping VEDA assist Vermont businesses in every corner of the state. Local and regional knowledge and support, and state and federal assistance in the form of grants, other financing and technical knowledge, all help VEDA assure the most advantageous financing is made available to Vermont’s businesses and farms.
Our Vermont banking partners are critical to the work we do.

We work with banks and credit unions across the state, region and nationally. Examples of recent partners include (but are not limited to):
