Lower Down Payment
Borrowers may provide a cash down payment as low as 10% of the total funding needs, allowing them to save their cash for other business needs.
Guaranteed Fixed Rate
Borrowers do not have the risk of an increase in the interest rate on the SBA loan making long-term planning for the business easier because borrowers know the amount of their mortgage payments for the next 20 years.
Long Term
Loans are made for 10, 20 or 25 year terms. Longer terms result in lower monthly payments for the borrower without the concern of balloon payments due prior to the loan maturity.
Low Interest Rates
Government guarantee allows us to provide funding with lower interest rates.
Maximum Loan Amounts
Under the 504 Loan Program, businesses can secure a maximum loan amount of $5.5 million, providing essential financial support for fixed assets. Notably, for specific energy-related initiatives borrowers may obtain financing for up to three distinct projects, with the total not exceeding $16.5 million.
