The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Guaranteed Loan Purchase Program provides low interest rate loans to North Dakota businesses with bank financing that includes a loan guarantee from a federal government program such as the USDA Rural Development Business & Industry Loan Programs. BND can participate in a government guaranteed loan by purchasing the guaranteed portion of the promissory note. The purchase is conditioned upon the borrower receiving the benefit of the lower interest rate on the purchased portion of the note.
BND offers this loan by partnering with local lenders. To apply, contact your lender.
If you have any questions, contact us or call (701) 328-5795.

Interest Rate:
Rate may be variable or fixed. Rate options outside of the standard offering may be considered if loan pricing meets BND goals and objectives. BND will establish the initial interest rate at the time of funding. The lead lender may also add a reasonable servicing fee on the guaranteed portion purchased by BND. The interest rate on the originating lender’s share of the loan may be variable or fixed regardless of BND’s interest rate structure and must be in compliance with USDA Rural Development policy.
