Frequently Asked Questions
01.
What Is A 504 Loan?
Since it is fixed-cost and long-term as well as SBA-backed, the 504 is one of the best financing options available for small business owners today.
02.
What is the maximum loan amount?
CDCs can exceed $5,000,000 and go as high as $5,500,000 of 504 financing for eligible manufacturing projects and for projects that incorporate energy saving technologies for sustainable design.
03.
Rates and Terms
The small business owner’s monthly payment includes program fees and a loan loss subsidy fee which are financed as part of the loan. SBA 504 debentures are fully amortized securities and have no balloon payments. To compare interest rates, see the U.S. Treasury bond rates.
04.
What is the Loan Structure?
CDCs are non-profit corporations that provide loans to encourage small business growth in their local communities and are unique to the 504 Loan program. The remaining 50 percent is provided by a banking partner.
