Finance Development
If you are looking for an expert to guide you to the right financing tools, the Economic Development Department’s Finance Development Team (FDT) is ready to help. Team members work hand-in-hand with New Mexico companies to introduce them to tax incentives, job-training reimbursements and financial assistance programs. The team also works closely with every program in the department, and assists every type of company, from technology commercialization to rural retail and service businesses. Based on a one-on-one business call, our team members can produce a free, customized analysis of the incentives and state programs that will work for your company.

Financing Partnerships
There are two types of financing: debt and equity financing
- Debt financing is traditional bank or alternative financing that must be repaid.
- Equity financing is financing from a venture capitalist or angel investor that may or may not have to be repaid. However, equity financiers own a portion of the company and traditionally expect a higher return for their investment.
Navigating through programs and financing options can seem daunting and complex. That is why our experts are available to help you select the right tools to get the results you are looking for.
