Thomas Financial Group

Advocating for Rural America Through Leadership in Government-Guaranteed Lending

At Thomas Financial Group, our commitment to expanding economic opportunity in rural and underserved markets is more than a business initiative — it’s a mission rooted in service. As a nationally recognized originator in USDA and SBA government-guaranteed lending, we take pride in helping small businesses, community developers, and essential service providers access the capital they need to grow and thrive — regardless of size or zip code.

Our firm plays a central role in national policy conversations and advocacy efforts through active participation in the National Rural Lenders Roundtable, a forum of lenders, policymakers, and stakeholders dedicated to shaping the future of rural finance.

Through this platform, we work closely with the USDA, SBA, and Congressional leaders to streamline processes, modernize program guidelines, and ensure that critical funding reaches communities that need it most.


Our advocacy includes

Policy Leadership

Contributing to working groups and federal roundtables that recommend improvements to USDA RD and SBA 7(a) /504 programs.

Regulatory Reform

Championing greater efficiency and accountability in rural loan processing and servicing — including efforts to reduce red tape and eliminate geographic and demographic barriers to access.

Community Impact

Actively promoting rural infrastructure, healthcare, housing, and small business initiatives through customized lending solutions that create jobs and foster long-term sustainability.

We believe access to capital is a cornerstone of economic justice. That’s why Thomas Financial Group continues to advocate not just for loan approvals

But for the broader systems and structures that enable long-term rural resilience.
