Serious capital. For real projects.

Waterside funds USDA, Bridge-to-USDA, EB-5, and SBA transactions — real financing for complex projects that need to get built.

Programs we Move Capital Through.

Government-backed programs like USDA, EB-5, and SBA are designed to fuel growth and investment in rural America. We make them accessible—turning complex programs into practical financing for real projects.

USDA Business & Industry (B&I)

USDA’s flagship, industry-agnostic program designed to promote economic development and job creation in rural America through government-guaranteed commercial loans.

USDA Rural Energy for America (REAP)

Financing designed for renewable energy systems and energy-efficiency projects — from solar and wind installations to energy-efficient agricultural equipment.

USDA Community Facilities (CF)

Capital for essential community infrastructure — including nonprofit and public projects such as hospitals, schools, and civic buildings in rural areas.

USDA Water & Waste Disposal (WWD)

Financing for the construction, expansion, or improvement of rural water and wastewater systems — critical infrastructure for community development and compliance.

USDA Timber Production Expansion (TPEP)

Financing for sawmills, wood processors, and biomass facilities using forest-restoration byproducts. Designed to expand domestic wood production and processing capacity through government-guaranteed loans that promote rural job creation and sustainable forest management.

Bridge-to-USDA

Waterside’s differentiator: short-term bridge financing that keeps projects moving while permanent USDA loans finalize — combining speed to close with the benefits of long-term, government-backed debt.

EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

Foreign-investor capital supporting U.S. rural and job-creating projects. Flexible across the capital stack — including preferred equity — and often used to bridge tax credits or complement government-guaranteed debt.

SBA 7(a) Loan Program

The SBA’s most flexible lending program, suited for working capital, business expansion, real estate acquisition, or debt refinance — often supported by cash flow rather than hard assets.

SBA 504 Loan Program

A long-term, fixed-asset financing program for major construction, real estate, or equipment — up to 90% loan-to-value with predictable terms and rates.
