Missouri Small Business Loan Program
 
"For Missouri’s economy to get back on the right track and for us to create good-paying jobs, we must do everything we can to encourage the development and growth of small businesses," Gov. Nixon said. "That′s what my Show Me JOBS plan is all about – putting Missourians back to work and supporting small–business growth during these difficult economic times."

"One of the executive orders I signed directed the Department of Economic Development to work with the Missouri Development Finance Board to create a pool of funds for low–interest or no–interest direct loans for small businesses," Gov. Nixon said. "These loans can be a real step toward allowing small businesses to expand and create jobs."
