There’s not really a “too small”. As long as you are a rural small business or ag producer you’re likely eligible. We’ve helped one-person LLCs and 500+ employee corporations alike.

Ownership helps but isn’t required. Leased property qualifies as long as you have landlord permission and long-term site control..

Typically, there will be zero cost upfront. On rare occasion, there may be small fees for required reports or analysis. Our fee is success-based and paid only after USDA issues your grant award. No grant, no fee, no surprise invoices.

About one hour total. You upload a utility bill, answer a few questions, and sign where we flag. We handle the 30-plus pages of paperwork behind the scenes.

Typical timeline is 90–120 days from submission to award letter. We control everything we can (your file is ready in under 10 days); the USDA review clock is the only variable.

Solar PV, battery storage, energy-efficient HVAC or lighting, geothermal, biomass, and dozens more. If the upgrade cuts your energy bill, REAP likely covers it—ask us if you’re unsure.

Up to 50 % of eligible costs, capped at $500K for efficiency projects and $1 million for renewable-energy projects. We’ll give you a personalized estimate after your 60-second survey.

We’re at 90 % approvals on first submission, thanks to deep USDA relationships and sweating every detail before the file hits their desk.

You pay nothing. We’ll debrief with USDA, patch any gaps, and resubmit in the next funding round at no extra charge.

No—the REAP grant stacks smoothly with the 30 % Federal Solar ITC and traditional bank or USDA loans. We coordinate with your lender or tax advisor to keep everything compliant.
