LIFT Loan Program

SBA Guaranteed Rural Lender Advantage Program
The SBA Guaranteed Rural Lender Advantage Program provides financing to qualified borrowers with minimum paperwork requirements. Presented by the Small Business Administration, funds can be used to develop, convert, modernize, or repair your business. You can also use this SBA program to purchase and develop land or to finance equipment, machinery, supplies, or inventory. SBA Loans can also be used to refinance existing debt if certain conditions are met. Find out more by contacting the lending team at Peoples Bank.
