SBA 504 Loan |
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Small Business Administration 504 Loan Program provides for up to 40% of the total cost of a project for a term of up to twenty years at a fixed, below-market interest rate.
The 504 Program is generally for established small businesses but start-up businesses may qualify. The program provides fixed asset financing for land and building purchases, new construction, long-term leasehold improvements and capital equipment purchases. Working capital and real estate speculation are not allowed under this program. Major expansions may sometimes include a small amount of debt refinancing. The SBA 504 portion ranges from $50,000 to $4,000,000, depending upon business type.
The Small Business Administration (SBA), in cooperation with Panhandle Area Council (PAC), provides assistance in completing the 504 loan package.
FINANCING TERMS
A bank or another private lending institution and the PAC/SBA are the two lenders in this program with the bank lending 50% of the project total. Their rate and fees must be consistent with market levels. The private lender's collateral consists of a first lien position on assets.
PAC/SBA is the subordinate lender that lends a maximum of 40% of the project, up to $1,500,000 for any regular business, $2,000,000 for any public policy loans, and $4,000,000 for manufacturing loans (this applies to NAICS sectors 31, 32, and 33 only). PAC sells a debenture guaranteed by the SBA. The term of the loan is 10 years on equipment and 20 years on real estate. The borrower's capital injection requirement is a minimum 10-20% of the project total.
