SBA 504

The SBA 504 Program provides a method to finance real estate expansion projects through long-term, fixed-rate financing.   The 504 is different from the 7(a) in that it is offered by the SBA in partnership with a participating lender (bank or non-bank).” The 504 loan program consists of two loans. The first loan and lien position is offered by an authorized lending institution and the second loan or second lien position is offered by the US SBA via the efforts of a certified development company (CDC).

504 eligible project costs include:

  • Land and building acquisition
  • Site improvements
  • Building improvements
  • Professional fees, including architect, appraisal, environmental
  • Other costs, including title insurance, survey, points and interest on interim loan
  • Machinery and equipment acquisition

The main advantages of the SBA 504 program are as follows:

  • Small equity injection, as little as 15% toward the total eligible project
  • Long-term financing is available, up to 25 years on loan 1 and up to 20 years on loan 2
  • Very favorable, fully amortizing fixed-rate pricing on loan 2 at market
  • Most closing costs are eligible for project financing
