What is a Business & Industry Loan?

Business & Industry loans can be used to expand or modernize your rural business, including investment in equipment and machinery. Loans can be used to purchase land or buildings for industrial or commercial use and cover related infrastructure. Business acquisitions also can be financed through the program, when the loan will maintain business operations and create or save jobs.
