SMALL BUSINESS LENDING
The Rural Nevada Development Corporation (RNDC) is a non-profit development corporation formed in
January of 1992 to serve the fifteen counties of Rural Nevada as well as the rural portions of Clark and
Washoe Counties and the twenty-seven Indian Tribes of Nevada.  RNDC is headquartered in Ely, Nevada.



Formation   RNDC was formed as a response to a need identified for specialized development services,
which could be effectively provided by a non-profit development corporation, which could access federal and
state funds for economic development for the targeted service areas.

Business Lending    RNDC has established significant loan capital, which it lend to small businesses in
need of expansion or start-up financing in the target areas mentioned above.  RNDC has obtained over $5.6
million by various funding sources such as USDA-Rural Development, The Economic Development
Administration, Charles Schwab Bank, Nevada State Bank, and RNDC funds as well.  The Board of
Directors has targeted the use of the funds for businesses in need of expansion financing, fixed assets,
purchases, working capital, and start-up businesses in cities with a population of 25,000 or less.  The
RNDC loan funds significantly address the capital gap for rural businesses, and leverage bank participation
in rural business loans.  RNDC works closely with the Nevada Commission on Economic Development
and the Nevada Small Business Development Center.

Opportunity Act, and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act for Federally Conducted Programs and Activities, neither the

on the basis of sex, marital status, race, color, religion, national origin, age, physical or mental disability (provided the
