Guaranteed Business and Industry Loans
Description:
The Business and Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan Program guarantees loans made by commercial lenders against a portion
(up to a maximum of 90 percent) of loss resulting from borrower default. The purpose of the guarantee authority is to improve the
economic climate in rural communities in "partnership" with the existing private credit sources by increasing the local lender's legal
lending limit and allowing "increased" benefits to return to the lender via sale of both the guaranteed and non-guaranteed
portions of the loan in the secondary market.
Typical guarantee percentages are as follows:
Loans of up to $5 million - 80%
Loans between $5 and $10 million - 70%
Loans over $10 million - 60%
The percentages can change based on the loan proposal,
collateral, repayment ability, and the lender's ability to service the loan.
Loan Purposes:
Loan proceeds may be used for working capital, machinery and equipment, buildings and real estate, and certain types of debt
refinancing.
Who Makes the Loan?
The loan is made by commercial and other recognized lenders; generally, authorized lenders, Federal or State chartered banks,
credit unions, insurance companies, savings and loan associations, Farm Credit Banks or other Farm Credit System institutions with
direct lending authority, or a mortgage company that is part of a bank-holding company, plus the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, eligible Rural Utilities Service borrowers, and other lenders, approved by the Agency, who have met the designated criteria.
Who Is Eligible?
Virtually any legally organized entity including a cooperative, corporation, partnership, trust or other entity organized and
operating on a profit or nonprofit basis, Indian Tribe or Federally-recognized Tribal group, municipality, county, or other
political subdivision of a State, or an individual. There is no test for credit elsewhere requirement.
Other Criteria:
Collateral must be sufficient to protect the interest of the lender and the Government and usually include personal and/or corporate guarantees.
