CHFA created the Rural Loan program to meet rural business’s unique needs. Equity requirements can be as low as 10 percent and, in some cases, funds are available at below market rates through the Rural Development Loan program. All loans have fixed interest rates with terms which can extend for up to 20 years.

Loan proceeds can be used for owner-occupied commercial real estate and equipment purchases. Ask your banker to contact us today for more details. Loan applications are also available online.
