USDA Food Supply Chain Guaranteed Loan Program

Madison One CUSO can help your food supply business take advantage of generous loan amounts and terms you can’t find in any other government-guaranteed program.

Funding To Strengthen Your Business—and the Food Supply Chain

Disruptions to the food supply chain have affected millions of Americans, from transporters and distributors to consumers at the grocery store. To help the food supply chain stabilize and create a more resilient system, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) set aside nearly $1 billion in loan funds. If your business is involved in the aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, wholesaling, or distribution of food, you can claim some of these funds to improve your business.

As an expert in government-guaranteed financing, the Madison One CUSO team can help you capitalize on the favorable terms in the USDA Food Supply Chain Guaranteed Loan Program.

Flexible Loan Conditions

Compared to other USDA and SBA loans, the Food Supply Chain Guaranteed Loan Program is among the most favorable for borrowers. The USDA will guarantee loans up to $40 million, and lenders may offer terms as long as 40 years. Additionally, borrowers are not required to pay guarantee fees or annual renewal fees.

No Geographic Restrictions

Unlike the USDA B&I, REAP, or 9003 programs, the USDA Food Supply Chain Guaranteed Loan Program doesn’t limit funding to businesses in rural areas. As long as companies are in the middle of the food supply chain, they can use program funds to finance projects across the U.S., from rural Montana to downtown Miami.

Applications for Food Supply Chain Guaranteed Loan Program Funds

USDA Rural Development administers program funds for various purposes as long as they expand food supply chain activities, address bottlenecks, and increase capacity. That means you could use financing for the following:

Business improvement, expansion, or development
Debt refinancing (at up to 50% of your project cost)
Land or building purchases
Building construction or renovation
Equipment purchases and installation, including IT systems
Working capital

Because of its wide range of applications and extended loan terms, the USDA Food Supply Chain Guaranteed Loan Program is one of the best funding options for food production, transportation, and distribution businesses.
