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

We turn government guarantees into real financing — built to get complex projects financed and built.
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’s flagship, industry-agnostic program designed to promote economic development and job creation in rural America through government-guaranteed commercial loans.


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


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


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


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.

We don’t just line up capital — we deliver it. Waterside finances projects through USDA, Bridge-to-USDA, EB-5, and SBA programs with one goal: getting real projects funded and built.
Every loan we back is underwritten and managed in-house, ensuring certainty from start to close — financing you can trust to move when it matters.
