USDA’s Business & Industry (B&I) Loan Program benefits business owners and local communities through government-guaranteed loans specifically earmarked for businesses in rural locations.The business owners we serve are often surprised to hear that the USDA supports more than agriculture alone. In fact, the USDA Business & Industry loan program has nothing to do with agriculture at all. The USDA B&I Loan Program empowers entrepreneurs and entities of all sizes with loans of up to $25 million, so long as they operate in communities of 50,000 or fewer.
REFA-Rural Energy for America: USDA's Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) benefits business owners and brokers alike through government-guaranteed commercial loans specifically earmarked for renewable energy projects across rural America. Small business owners know all too well, energy is expensive. But replacing or improving energy-inefficient equipment is expensive, too. That’s why the USDA enacted the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). The program provides government-guaranteed loans and grants to agricultural producers and rural small businesses to upgrade, replace, or construct energy-efficient systems. Powering the instruments of industry just got easier.
