About Us

UCEDC, a non-profit economic development corporation, is dedicated to stimulating economic growth and creating an environment for progress. We have been serving the New Jersey small business community for over 30 years, providing an objective and authoritative voice on business and economic development issues throughout the state.

Our mandate is to develop opportunities for business that lead to new jobs, a strong, stable business climate, and an improved quality of life. We do this by providing financial, technical and community development assistance to businesses including:

• Access to capital
• Government contract opportunities
• Technical assistance, training and mentoring
• Economic, demographic and market data

In addition, UCEDC has the long-term experience that makes us a leading advocate for small businesses. This enables us to serve as the local ombudsman for businesses when problems arise.
