Large/Food Animal Veterinary Loan Program

The Large/Food Animal Veterinary Loan Program is designed to assist individuals licensed to practice veterinary medicine in Kentucky who desire to construct, expand, equip or buy into a practice serving large animal producers, including goat, sheep, swine, and other smaller food animals.

Eligible Projects

KAFC will provide financing in participation with a local lender for the acquisition, renovation and development of capital assets needed to facilitate a large animal veterinary practice, as well as equipment determined to be essential for the delivery of services provided by a large animal veterinary practice.

Terms

There must be a commitment by a participating lender who will work with the borrower to capitalize the initial investments outlined in the 5-year business plan.

Additionally, the applicant must have the following:

  • Documentation of valid license to practice veterinary medicine in Kentucky
     
  • A combined net worth of less than $500,000 at time of application (applicant and spouse, if applicable)
     
  • A 3-year business plan showing a reasonable return and an ability to retire the KAFC debt
