The first round of companies receiving Company Formation and Growth loans currently employ 20 individuals and have estimated that an additional 49 jobs will be added to the region in 2008.

Those interested in applying for funding through the Company Formation and Growth Fund can obtain an application through their local SmartZone. Information about the loan fund is available online at: http://www.annarborspark.org In addition to the application, the company will need to supply a Certificate of Good Standing with Michigan, a business plan or overview, and document that spells out the use of funds.

In keeping with the Company Formation and Growth Fund's emphasis on job creation, as part of the application process, mature companies must complete an employee retention form identifying how many employees they have and how many former Pfizer employees they will be hiring before the end of 2008. Start-ups are required to include a statement with their application that outlines how many employees they will be hiring in 2008 and how many of those hires will be former Pfizer employees.
