The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is a federal government agency that administers SBA 504 loan guaranty programs. Since 1953, the U.S. Small Business Administration has funded over 20 million loans to small businesses. The SBA 504 Division of CRELender offers loan amounts up to $15,000,000 and 90% loan-to-value (LTV) financing, all-time low interest rates, and flexible terms up to 25 years. Owner-operated businesses must occupy at least 51% of an existing structure, or 60% of a newly constructed building to qualify for an SBA 504 loan. SBA 504 loans may be the right choice for your business if you are about to start, acquire, or expand a business, purchase or renovate commercial real estate, acquire machinery, and or equipment.
The SBA 504 and Certified Development Company Debenture (CDC) loan program is a long-term financing tool, designed to encourage economic development within a community. The SBA 504 and CDC program accomplishes this by providing small businesses with long-term, fixed-rate financing to acquire major fixed assets for expansion or modernization. A Certified Development Company (CDC) is a private, nonprofit corporation which is set up to contribute to economic development within its community. CDCs work with SBA and private sector lenders to provide financing to small businesses, which accomplishes the goal of community economic development.
