Flexible Lending Options

for Timber & Lumber Companies

Its products surround our living rooms, raise our roofs, and line our barns. The boards it produces become children’s toys, designers’ prototypes, and executives’ desks. For a simple-sounding industry, the reach of the timber industry is far and wide.

Thanks to their expansive sites, timber and lumber projects almost always occupy rural territory. That seemingly small factor has a notable benefit: it can unlock competitively priced funding through the USDA’s Business & Industry Loan Program.
