The rural reality is harsh but true: plans crafted on Main Street are less likely to secure backing from Wall Street. The entrepreneurs, developers, and job creators in these communities have long been at a capital disadvantage --- until now.
The USDA Rural Development Program is designed to stregthen the economics and bolster the quality of life in rural America. The only problem? Few lenders know how to access it. We do. In fact, USDA-backed lending is all we do.
A number of years ago, the USDA crafted a novel solution to the capital challenges experienced by rural employers and entrepreneurs. The department best known for its regulation and support of agriculture devised a series of plans to strengthen the economies and bolster the quality of life in rural areas. The USDA addressed the underlying concerns of traditional lenders by participating as a guarantor and ultimately easing access to capital in rural markets.
Today, USDA Rural Development guarantees a $234 billion portfolio of loans – a massive portfolio few are aware of. The program comprises five loan programs, including Rural Energy for America, Community Facilities, Business & Industry, and Food Supply Chain loan programs.
