By
There are many different types of government loans for which the general public, organizations and businesses can apply. Here we'll cover the basics of each major type of government loan.
Agriculture Loans
The Farm Service Agency is an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture and handles most agriculture loans. Individuals apply for agricultural loans by contacting a local lender who will in turn contact the Farm Service Agency to arrange for a government guarantee.
Business Loans
The United States Small Business Administration helps, counsels and protects the rights and interests of small businesses in the U.S. It provides contractual and financial assistance s well as business development assistance.

Disaster Relief Loans
Disaster relief loans are generally not immediate like aid such as the Red Cross or other temporary assistance such as temporary housing and food, but are for longer term repair and rebuilding. The amount of money that applicants are entitled to receive depends largely on the actual cost of replacing or repairing property that has been damaged or destroyed by disaster.
