SBA Loan Programs

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was established to help businesses secure financing. SBA programs reduce risk for lenders and enables easier access to capital. There are two primary SBA financing programs offered; the SBA 504 program which offers attractive real estate and equipment financing; and the SBA loan guarantee program which offers a more flexible use of funds. Together, these programs are great complements to each other and are often used together to fully meet business financing needs. 

SBA 504 Loan Program

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loan program, offered by BLP,  was developed by Congress to assist growing businesses by offering an attractive financing option for real estate and equipment needs. The SBA has structured the program to work in partnership with the applicant business’ financial institution. To apply for SBA 504 financing, the business and its financial institution would work directly with BLP. BLP acts as an administrator of the program and packages everything directly with the customer for SBA.

By mitigating their risk through these program, banks can provide more loans and offer opportunities to more businesses. Additionally, banks can provide more loans to the same business where legal lending limits may be constricting.
