FINANCING

Montana West Economic Development offers loan funds for businesses and entrepreneurs to help with startups, expansions, working capital, or equipment purchases. Our goal is to support healthy and successful local businesses, creating and retaining jobs in Northwest Montana. We guide borrowers through the entire loan process from first contact to closing, providing support as needed to get the deal done. MWED works closely with local lending partners to give businesses a path forward. We offer gap financing when bank lending or owner equity is not sufficient to meet a business’s full financial needs.

We create Montana success stories, making business dreams come true.

Contact Director of Lending Carie Pelucca at carie.p@dobusinessinmontana.com or call 406.257.7711 x201 to get an application and start the process today.
