Bemidji Business Rebuild Program

About this program

Greater Bemidji, in partnership with Northwest Minnesota Foundation, Headwaters Regional Development Commission, the Bemidji Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Bemidji, is offering the Bemidji Business Rebuild Program: rapid-response 0% interest loans up to $10,000 with no payments required in the first year to help small businesses recover from the June 2025 storms. Funds may be used to cover insurance gaps, cleanup, inventory replacement, temporary relocation, and equipment costs not covered by insurance; businesses with greater financial needs may be referred to related programs for larger funding. Eligible applicants are small businesses in the Bemidji region impacted by the storms; interested businesses should contact Greater Bemidji at (218) 444-5757 or dhengel@greaterbemidji.com and apply via the online form.
