The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) loans help Maine small businesses start up or expand, creating new job opportunities that benefit our community in the process. 

Direct Loans

An alternative to traditional loans offered in conjunction with partner agencies like the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.

Bond Programs

Two options for funding via tax-exempt bonds – the Revenue Obligations Securities Program and the Municipal Securities Approval Program – designed for manufacturing borrowers and 501(c)(3) entities.

Equity Capital and Tax Credits

Tax credits to investors that reinvest in businesses in low-income Maine communities. Credits to outside passive investors. And a revolving “evergreen” fund that invests in businesses that show significant growth and local impact.
