The purpose of this program is to automate the process of filling out the forms associated with applying for a Business and Industry loan through USDA, Rural Business-Cooperative Service.  After you load the B&I Loanpack 2000 program onto your computer, you will be able to enter the required information and print out the forms.

The Lenders will generate the following forms with this program:

•  4279-1      Application For Loan Guarantee
•  4279-2      Non-Relocation And Market Capacity
•  1940-20    Request For Environmental Information
•  400-3      Notice to Contractors and Applicants

USDA personnel will generate the following forms with this program:

•   1940-3   Obligation of Funds
•   1980-19  Guaranteed Loan Closing Report
•   4279-1   Part C – USDA Project Summary
•   4279-2   Conditional Commitment

The intent is to reduce the time it takes to fill out the required forms by capturing the data once and transferring it to the appropriate forms.  The goal is to allow you to enter the data in a manner that would be intuitive.  Data collected on one screen may show up on several different forms

Saving Files

The files for the B&I Loanpack 2000 are saved much like Word or Excel files.  Each file represents a project and the user will give each file a name and save to any directory or device.  The file is saved by clicking the File Save or File Save As menu items

Any files saved using the B&I Loanpack 2000 can be moved to another computer by any means you would use to move a Word or Excel file.  The size of the files are very small and can be easily moved as an attachment to your e-mail.

Once the file is available on another computer, the project (file) can be opened by clicking on File Open menu item.

WHOM DO I CONTACT FOR HELP?

The first screen on the program provides easy access to technical support.  Simply click on the “Questions and Comments” link, and you will be given an opportunity to enter information about yourself as well as any comments or questions about the program.  This information will be directed to the program developers and they will respond accordingly.

Other Features

The program has a feature called Entry Assist.  This feature allows the user to obtain assistance for any field that requires more than a few words to complete.  We call them “Memo” fields.  Memo fields will be recognized by the fact they are larger than the standard one word or number field.  By doubling clicking on a Memo field, the user will get another screen that provides some default language that can be selected.  By a simple copy and paste procedure, the default language can be inserted in the current project.  Of course, each project will require modification of any language copy from the default.  Also any different language entered by the user for any Memo type item will automatically be saved for later use.
