USDA BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY (B&I) LOAN PROGRAM
The USDA B&I loan program is considered the USDA's flagship program, helping create jobs and stimulate rural economies by providing financing for small businesses. The USDA B&I Program offers loan guarantees to rural businesses. These loans are made by banks and guaranteed by the USDA.
