What the program funds
AgBiz Drought Loans provide loans for small businesses located in a drought affected region that directly supply goods or services relating to primary production to farm businesses to help them manage through and recover from drought. Loans of up to $500,000 over a period of 10 years are available. The first 5 years will be interest only, followed by 5 years principal and interest.

How to apply
Applications for AgBiz Drought Loans are made through Australian Government, not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.
