Economic Gardening Loan Fund

As of July 1, 2011 BBIF loaned out all of the available funds for the EGLF. We will continue to service all of the outstanding loans and look to launch a new state-wide loan fund in the coming months.

The Economic Gardening Loan Fund was created in 2009 out of Florida Statutes 288.1081 within the Office of Tourism, Trade, and Economic Development. The Economic Gardening Loan Fund (EGLF) is to support those small businesses that are in the best position to use the loan to continue making a successful long-term business commitment to Florida.
