USDA Business & Industry (B&I) Loans
Ready Capital is licensed to leverage USDA loans across most of the U.S. Let us help you structure a financing solution to fit your business goals.
Overview
USDA lending eligibility is for businesses and projects in areas of populations less than 50,000, with the goal of job retention and creation as well as the overall well-being of rural communities.
Through the USDA Rural Development Program, Ready Capital and our Madison One Platform can leverage government lending that traditional lenders can’t.
USDA Loan Highlights
Our USDA license satisfies customers in traditionally underbanked communities who might benefit from the unique qualities of this program or who otherwise might not meet SBA lending requirements.
- Loans up to $25 million
- 10-40 year terms/amortizations
- Can help where SBA isn’t a fit:
