USDA B&I Loan Features

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.

Have a project that requires more than $10M in funding? We can often blend SBA, USDA and conventional funds to meet the scope of bigger business projects.
