CHFA's lower equity requirements and long term fixed rates help small businesses reinvest more capital into their businesses, strengthening operations and financial stability. CHFA understands the challenges small businesses face in rural areas and we are committed to providing the tools necessary to help them grow. CHFA’s rural business loan programs are designed for established businesses located in rural areas. Loan proceeds can be used to finance owner-occupied commercial real estate and equipment.

Rural business advantages include:
  • Long terms (up to 20 years for real estate)
  • Fixed interest rates
  • 90 percent financing available for eligible projects
  • Below market rates available in select counties

Bankers or business owners may contact CHFA for current rates. Loan applicants must complete a loan application, project plan, and personal financial statement. All forms are available online. Contact a Commercial Lender to learn more.
