BSAG has established a Loan Fund which was made possible through the USDA Rural Business Enterprise Grant Program.

The intent of the loan fund is to create or retain at least one new job for every $10,000 loaned out to area businesses.  The fund acts as a gap lender by filling in business funding needs that are not available from traditional sources such as banks and other business development loan funds.

Loan funds can be used for a variety of activities:

• Land
• Construction
• Equipment
• Operating capital
