USDA Announces Low-Interest Business Loans

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will help create jobs in rural areas through USDA's Intermediary Relending Program. The program provides low-interest loans to local lenders who then re-lend the funds to local businesses to help grow economies in rural communities. Businesses can use these loans to buy equipment and machinery and to "acquire, build, convert, expand or repair a business."
