New York State's Empire Development Business Programs

Whether you are an international company looking to move or a small business owner needing to access capital, the state's programs are designed to help you.

New York State’s Empire State Development (ESD) offers loans, grants and tax credits, as well as other financing and technical assistance, to support businesses and encourage their growth within New York State. 

Financial Assistance Programs

As part of Governor Cuomo’s transformative plan to improve the state’s economic development model, a NYS Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) was created to streamline and expedite the grant application process. The CFA process marks a fundamental shift in the way state resources are allocated, ensuring less bureaucracy and greater efficiency to fulfill local economic development needs.

Funding is available for the following projects:

• Direct Assistance to Businesses
• Low-Cost Financing
• Transportation Infrastructure
• Workforce Development

Learn more about the CFA process and obtain an application.

Jobs Programs

ESD offers tax credits for strategic businesses such as high tech, bio-tech, clean-tech and manufacturing that create jobs or make significant capital investments. Learn more about the Excelsior Jobs Program.

The staff at The Development Corporation welcomes the opportunity to discuss how New York State may be able to support your business via loans, grants and tax credits, as well as other financing and technical assistance.
