With Veterans Day coming, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has announced the availability of $4 million in competitive fixed-rate small business loans for military veterans through the New York Business Development Corp. DiNapoli says "our freedoms are protected because of the brave men and women of our armed forces."

The veterans program helps to address the financial hardships of active duty with loans
to small businesses owned by military veterans for working capital and expansions. The New York State Common Retirement Fund provides funds to the New York Business Development Corp. to make loans to New York-based small businesses for working capital, equipment or real property.
