Long-term, fixed-rate financing for major fixed assets like commercial real estate, heavy equipment, and construction or renovation projects.
An SBA 504 loan is right for you if you need long-term, fixed-rate financing to purchase commercial real estate, heavy equipment, or fund construction projects. The below-market fixed rate and low 10% down payment make it the most affordable way to acquire business property. Under SBA Standard Operating Procedure 50 10, the program uses a three-part structure: a bank first mortgage at 50%, a Certified Development Company second mortgage at 40% backed by the SBA, and your 10% equity injection. You will need a minimum 680 credit score, and your business must occupy at least 51% of an existing building or 60% of new construction. Terms of 10, 20, or 25 years are available with the CDC portion carrying a fixed rate typically 1 to 2% below conventional commercial rates. Compared to SBA 7(a) which offers more versatile fund usage, the 504 is purpose-built for major fixed-asset acquisitions at the lowest fixed rate. Choose SBA 504 when acquiring commercial property or equipment is your goal.

We evaluate your business financials, the property or equipment you want to acquire, and your job creation plan to determine SBA 504 eligibility. We coordinate with a Certified Development Company (CDC).
Submit business and personal tax returns, financial statements, business plan, property details, and job creation projections. Both the bank and CDC portions require documentation.
The conventional lender underwrites the first mortgage (50%) and the CDC underwrites the SBA portion (40%). The SBA reviews and approves the CDC debenture. This dual process takes 45-60 days.
Complete closing on both the conventional first mortgage and the CDC/SBA second mortgage. The SBA 504 debenture is funded after the next available pool date.
