Economic Incentives & Tax Credits

High impact incentives for small businesses in South Dakota

With access to a U.S. Port of Entry and major interstates to both coasts and Canada, it’s no surprise that manufacturing products make up the majority of the state’s exports. In addition to manufacturing, South Dakota thrives in other key industries like bioscience, livestock development, cybersecurity and precision agriculture. Whether you are looking for working capital, workforce training money or a low-interest loan, the GOED offers an array of incentives for businesses.
