Access to capital and financing is essential for starting and growing a business. These investments help fuel innovation, support business expansion and create jobs across Maryland.
The Maryland Department of Commerce administers a wide range of financial incentive programs including venture capital investments, tax credits, direct loans, grants and loan guarantees. We also work alongside partner organizations like DHCD, TEDCO and MEDCO, as well as federal programs from the SBA, to connect Maryland businesses with the full range of funding options available across the state.
