USDA Rural Development specializes in loan guarantees to for-profit businesses as well as non-profit institutions that provide essential community services. Loan guarantees and direct loans are also available for single family and multi-family clients. For-profit businesses can benefit from the improved rates and terms that banks are often able to structure as a result of a loan guarantee. Local approval authority of $7.5 million insures timely delivery. Bankers and their small business clients can also benefit from the USDA RD Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency grant and loan guarantee program. Couple the USDA energy grant with other local incentives and a guaranteed loan to create a "no cash down" solution for your client that returns dividends every day. Non-profits are encouraged to utilize our community facility loan guarantee program. When financing gaps exist, USDA RD can often times deliver a direct loan in conjunction with a loan guarantee or, for more challenging projects that banks can not underwrite, deliver a direct loan only. USDA Rural Development offers a complete suite of over 40 loan guarantee, direct loan and grant programs for communities, businesses and homeowners.
