Affordable, Long-term Financing
that Builds Businesses and
Communities
With a USDA B&I loan, you can get up to $10M in financing for your rural-based business. Created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Business & Industry (B&I) loans help rural businesses get financing at competitive rates and longer terms so they can continue to grow and create more jobs.
You can use these funds to expand your business, refinance debt, upgrade equipment, start ground-up construction, and more.

Is Your Area Eligible for an
USDA B&I Loan?

The biggest qualifier for getting a USDA loan is the location.
The business to be financed must operate in an area designated as rural by the USDA.
The USDA defines "rural" as any city or town with a population of under 50,000.
