Revolving Loan Fund Program (RLF) - South Eastern Utah
resource active confidence: Low status: Draft updated 2026-08-11
Summary
SEUALG administers gap loans for startups and expanding businesses in Carbon, Emery, Grand, and San Juan counties that cannot secure ordinary bank financing. That fills a real rural credit gap, but the official program page was unavailable; applicants should request current terms and board timing directly.
Who It's For
Businesses located in Carbon, Emery, Grand, or San Juan counties that have been turned down by traditional lenders and can document a job-creation or retention plan. Startups and expansion-stage operators in professional, retail, service, IT, and manufacturing sectors are among listed qualifying categories in regional economic-development materials.
What It Provides
The program is described as non-traditional gap lending, but current loan sizes, repayment periods, and eligible uses are not supported by the captured source.
How To Use It

- Confirm the current program contact through SEUALG before applying.
- Startup State listing: https://startup.utah.gov/business-resource/revolving-loan-fund-program-rlf-south-eastern-utah/
Request current application packets and board-review timelines directly — the official program URL did not respond during verification.
Cost
Application fees, closing costs, and interest-rate terms could not be supported by the captured source. Verify all costs with SEUALG staff before applying.
Best Fits
Southeastern Utah founders with a bank turndown letter, a feasible business plan, and a credible job-impact story. A weak fit for companies outside the four-county area or seeking venture equity.
