Securing financing in small towns is often a very difficult tasks as most national and regional banks will NOT lend to borrowers with commercial real estate located in communitiues with less than 50,000 people. This program fills that void.

The benefits with the USDA Business and Industry program are many. Higher leverage (now up to 90%), and relative flexible underwriting standards top the list. Loan amounts range from $500,000 to $10,000,000. B & I loans are normally amortized over 30 years, which can have a dramatic increase in cash-flow compared to a more typical 20 year schedule. Also the B and I loans never have balloon clauses and can be less expensive than compareable SBA business loans.
