SEDCO - Sunshine State Economic Development Corporation

SEDCO - Sunshine State Economic Development Corporation is a not-for-profit certified development corporation (CDC) licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration to offer the SBA 504 Loan Program. The company is the result of the merger between Gulfcoast Business Finance and Tampa Economic Development Corporation, both with 30 years of experience in the St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Miami, and Tampa markets. Headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, SEDCO covers the entire state of Florida.

The SBA Section 504 Loan Program focuses on stimulating private sector investments in long-term fixed assets. It provides small businesses with long-term fixed rates and requires as little as 10% down payment for purchasing fixed assets such as real estate, buildings, equipment, and machinery.

SEDCO's primary goal is to help small businesses succeed by providing alternative financial resources, sound financial advice, and business acumen. This support, combined with the hard work, fiscal responsibility, personal commitment, and drive for entrepreneurial success of the small business owners, fosters profitability.
