The SBA 504 Loan

An SBA 504 loan is a great option for all borrowers who can qualify.  What is an SBA 504 loan?  The SBA 504 program is a group effort where the Small Business Administration teams up with a commercial lender, such as a national bank, credit union, or a non-bank lender to fund the project costs of a loan. This program is a great option because it has better rates and saves the borrower loads of money.

The SBA 504 can fund up to 90% of project costs on loans that go up to $12.5 million. The break down for a $12.5 million dollar project with 10% down from the borrower would go as follows:

-Borrower would put down $1.25 million

-SBA would take a second lien on the property, pay $5 million, with a fixed for life of loan interest rate

-The Bank would take a first lien position on the property, pay $6.25 million, with a fixed interest rate for 5-10 years.
