USDA B&I LOAN ELIGIBILITY

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. Map sourced from https://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/, 2020.

USDA B&I LOAN USES

Funding Business Acquisitions and Beyond

Businesses are not the only organizations that are eligible for USDA B&I funding. Unlike most SBA loans, rural nonprofits and municipal facilities are eligible to apply for an USDA B&I loan. A B&I loan enables rural businesses, nonprofits and city services to thrive by giving them the funds to:

Expand, repair, modernize or build new buildings or facilities

Purchase and develop land, easements, rights-of-way

Purchase of equipment, machinery, supplies, or inventory

Make leasehold improvements

Refinancing debt on the condition new jobs will be created

Acquire businesses and industrial facilities if the loan will keep the business from closing and/or save or create jobs
