The Bastrop Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Program provides businesses with direct loans. As the RLF receives the principal and interest from outstanding loans, the money is made available to another borrower. This recycling of funds makes RLFs particularly valuable for small businesses and entrepreneurs that lack the equity typically required by financial institutions to start or grow their business. This RLF program provides low-interest financing to assist with business start-ups and the expansion of existing businesses for the purposes of creating jobs, increasing sales tax producing revenue, and enhancing private capital investment within the City of Bastrop, Texas.
