The Agribusiness Guarantee is intended to stimulate the development of products that will enhance the value and promote the use of Wisconsin's raw agricultural commodities.
The procedures for obtaining an Agribusiness Guarantee are listed in the Guarantee Procedures chapter of this manual. The only exception is the eligibility process listed below.
Before completing an application, submit the Agribusiness Guarantee Eligibility Form (Form 3). WHEDA will determine the eligibility of the project and the business and inform the Lender within 1 business day.
The application must be received within 90 days of the determination of eligibility. If the Lender is unable to submit the complete application within this timeframe, a written request for extension must be forwarded to WHEDA. Extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
