The Business and Industry (B&I)
program was legislated in 1972 under Section 310B of the
Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. The
purpose of the program is to improve, develop, or finance
businesses, industries, and employment and improve the economic and
environmental climate in rural communities. This purpose is
achieved through bolstering the existing private credit structure
through the guaranteeing of quality loans made by lending
institutions, thereby providing lasting community benefits. The
B&I program is administered by the Agency through Rural
Development State and sub-State Offices serving each
State.
