Loan Participation

AIDEA can purchase up to 90% of a participating credit to a maximum of $25 million. This program provides permanent financing, both taxable and tax-exempt, to borrowers through a qualified originator for the purpose of developing, acquiring or enhancing Alaska business enterprises. The project being financed must be in Alaska. The loan request must be sponsored and originated by a financial institution eligible to participate in AIDEA's credit programs. The Loan Participation Program provides the benefit of long-term fixed or variable rate financing on the portion of the loan purchased by AIDEA, which may reduce the business enterprise's debt service.
