The “Home” Team Advantage: We’ve got the plays to support your business growth!

In Tennessee, we realize that gaining new business is important, but supporting our existing industries is essential. Existing businesses and industry are the source of nearly 80% of new jobs and capital investment and ECD is here to nurture the growth and development of those companies already calling Tennessee home through grant and loan programs,technical assistance, and workforce development.

Existing industries have already discovered the advantages of Tennessee’s location, infrastructure and quality of life, and with a pro-business environment here, Tennessee is a place where businesses can thrive.

The fact is, in Tennessee, our existing industries have some home advantages to assist in their growth through our infrastructure, building and equipment financing, energy loan programs, state-of-the-art training resources, and statewide career centers. And chances are when the numbers have all been crunched, Tennessee will look better than ever.

“In an ever-increasing global competition, we must work to better educate our workforce, train for tomorrow’s jobs, and give businesses the tools and incentives they need to thrive.” -Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen
