Provincial Programs Available in Portsmouth
These state-level and provincial grant programs are active and open to qualified businesses operating in the Portsmouth area:
NH Job Training Fund
Agency: BEA
This is the state's primary discretionary grant program. If you need to train your team on new software, lean manufacturing techniques, or safety protocols, the state will pay half the bill. It is designed to keep the NH workforce competitive.
Research and Development Tax Credit
Agency: DRA
A powerful tool for startups. You can apply a credit against your Business Profits Tax (BPT) or Business Enterprise Tax (BET) for qualified R&D expenditures. The state cap is often hit, so early application is crucial.
NH Business Finance Authority (BFA) Loan Guarantees
Agency: BFA
The BFA doesn't usually lend directly (except for massive industrial projects); instead, they de-risk your bank loan. If your local bank says "no" because you lack collateral, the BFA can provide a guarantee to turn that "no" into a "yes".
