First-At-Bat

The “First-At-Bat” club represents a distinguished cohort of lenders that made their inaugural foray into SBA 504 financing through partnership with BLP.

These lenders, stepping up to the plate for the first time in this specialized lending arena, demonstrated both confidence in BLP’s expertise and commitment to expanding their small business lending capabilities.

By choosing to collaborate with BLP on their maiden 504 venture, these lenders not only diversified their lending portfolios but also joined a network dedicated to fueling growth and economic development through government-backed commercial real estate and equipment financing.

Their willingness to enter this partnership marked a significant milestone—both for their own organizations and for the small businesses they would ultimately serve through this powerful financing tool.

At each March Board meeting, BLP’s staff will nominate up to two lenders to the Board of Directors. The nomination is based on the prior year’s number of approved loans.

If there is a tie of two or more commercial lenders with the same number of approved loans, the commercial lender with the largest summation of loan dollar amounts is crowned the winner.

Eligibility Assessment

Business Lending Partners (BLP) provides up-front eligibility screening services to determine if a small business meets the general criteria to qualify for an SBA loan. Start with our assessment form today to start the qualification process.

Filing an application

A BLP representative will work with the small business and the participating lender to collect all required documentation.

*Timing depends on the readiness of the borrower, the complexity of the project, and can vary significantly

Due Diligence

An appraisal and environmental review are required by the SBA and partnering lender. They will be ordered on behalf of the business and will be submitted to the SBA for approval, along with your application package.

Approvals

Loan application will be submitted electronically by BLP to SBA once all remaining documentation is collected, signed, and dated by the loan applicant. The SBA generally takes 5-7 days to approve or decline an application once it is received.

Applications will undergo a background check by the SBA. In cases where the review identifies any irregularities, there could be delays.

Closing

SBA will issue its Loan Authorization upon approval which outlines the terms and conditions of the SBA financing. BLP and partnering lender will prepare the loan documents to send to escrow officer to schedule a time to sign the final document and close escrow.

Rates Lock

After the completed loan application receives SBA approval and escrow is closed, loan becomes part of the regular monthly debenture sale. When that is completed, you will be notified of your final below-market loan rate.

Start doing business

Loan payment schedule is sent approximately one week before first payment is due. Payments must be made on the first day of the month. Because no two loans are alike, BLP cannot guarantee financing timeline, but most of the time it takes approximately 60 days.
